Family Tyrant
I hate my mom. I've tried my entire life to do get along with her, even after I shit you not she grounded me for an entire year. Highschool is pretty hard when you can't hang out with anyone after school but your mom. Every day I would come home to at least a 10 chore list before I could start on my homework. My grades fell big time. If I got a C, I was grounded all the way till the next report card.When I turned 17 I wanted a job. She wouldn't allow me to work more than 12 hours a week so that she could make me work with her and her failing landscape business. If I made her mad she lowered my pay, grounded me, and added to my chore list.
Every night before I went to bed she forced me to listen to a 60 minute tape of kooky Pentecostal speakers. She made me read multiple self help books and see counselors. She put my on ADHD medications that I didn't need and caused me to have nervous breakdowns at school. She forced my sister to take many different depression meds that caused her to have hallucinations, especially during the night. She put my brother, other sister, and father on ADHD medications also. Everyone had the problem but her.
All this I did just to keep the peace. Because it was easier to go along than argue. If I asked her why I had to do something she would threaten to lengthen the grounding, add more chores to the list, add more god tapes, add more chapters out of the self help book, until I agreed that she was right and I said I wanted to do what she wanted.
If I really put up an argument she would kick me out of the house. If I said I wouldn't leave she threatened to call the cops on me. If I still wouldn't leave she would get my dad to drag me out of the house. I had nowhere to go and had school in the morning.
But the worst was the insulting. During our 'talks' she would tell me I'm sexist, a terrible person, a control freak. After someone tells you who you are for long enough you almost start to believe them.
After finishing high school I joined the Army National Guard to get away from her. The money I made helped me get an apartment, pay for college, and completely separate my self from her.
After coming back from active duty for a year, I attempted to make things right with her. She wouldn't allow me to come into the house to visit the family. Now she isn't even allowing the family to see me at all. I missed my dad, sisters and brother so even though it made me sick to talk to her I tried. But being on my own made me realize that I don't have to take her shit anymore. She told me she wouldn't talk to me unless I saw a counselor and started going to church again.
Well guess what? I'm never going to church again. Ever. Fuck God. I will never see a counselor unless I need to. And that ADHD medication you put me on? I've been selling it for 2 years now.
I called my little brother today. He told me that things have gotten worse since I moved out. Now she picks on him, tells him he has anger issues and is sexist. He is one of the calmest people I know. My sisters spend their days upstairs in their rooms to keep away from their tyrannical mom.
My brother told me he wasn't allowed to talk to me but he wanted to. My mom asked him who he was talking to. He lied and said that I was just one of his friends from school. She listened in on the phone conversation and heard me say that the only reason I wanted to work things out with her was so that I could see my family again.
She butted into the conversation and told my little brother to hang up.
I just couldn't take it anymore. I was so angry. For the first time in 21 years I told her exactly how I felt with no fear of repercussion. I said "Fuck you mom. Fuck you." It felt so weird, and even bad. But I had to say it.
Later that day my brother called me again. He said my mom was really mad and she was taking it out on him but he thought it what I said was funny. My dad wasn't even mad. Underneath all the medications she has him on he probably feels the same way.
She listened in on the conversation again and told me to hang up the phone. I told her to kiss my ass.
I'm through taking shit from her. Fuck her. And fuck any other parents like her.
This mother's day shes getting a very special treat.

1WOW! Is there an agency she could be reported to? I think what she's doing to your sibs, (not to mention your dad), could be deemed abuse and she REALLY needs help! You may want to do some research and see if you can do anything to save the rest of your family from her

2She deserves a cocktail. A Molotov cocktail. Good luck in your quest of giving that horrible woman what she deserves - your family deserve better.

4You know what she is doing is wrong, it's much worse than having your family split up, go find a social worker and report that shit.

5The irony (and the nerve) of her calling YOU a control freak.
She had better keep shoving all that drugs and shit down everyone's throats to keep them nice and docile so they don't rip her fucking throat out, piss down it, burn her remains and feed her to a pitbull.
