[quote=Anonymous]My mom is like this too.  I'm sorry OP. Ignore the weirdos on this thread.  Not sure why people come here to bully posters who actually want/need support, but whatever.

I remember well the feeling of being emotionally shut out by my mom.  She would give us the silent treatment for MONTHS!  When I was 7, I did something wrong.  I don't remember what it was, but she didn't talk to me for 2 months.  She wouldn't even look in my direction!  It was horrible.  As I got older, she would do this more and more, for more trivial stuff.  Once I fell asleep on the couch in the living room after a marathon study session.  I had a few hours to rest and needed to get back to studying.  When my mom got home, she woke me up screaming that I looked "homeless" sleeping on the couch (my dad napped on the same couch every day, but I guess it was ok for him?), and then told me to do something about my appearance because I looked horrible (um yes multiple all nighters studying!).  I was only about 16 or 17 at the time, and I was FURIOUS with her.  She could care less how hard I was working (IB Exam time), and had the audacity to wake me up from a nap when I only had about an hour or two to rest.  Also, she was just coming home to drop something off, so she wouldn't even have to look at me for that long.  She didn't speak to me for over 4 months after that.  Oh, and she tells everyone today that she was the reason I did so well on my IB exams.  This all happened jeez, years and years ago, but I am brought back to that awful feeling of coldness when my mom shuts me out again.

Sorry for the long rant![/quote]
