How do I get the point across to my mom that was she says to me really hurts me!?

My whole life I have had weight problems so my mom has always called me fat and always say really hurtful things to me and when I was down to a size 5 she would still call me fat and hurt my feelings. Everyday she has to say these things to me and makes me feel like I'm nothing and like I'm not good enough to be her daughter..every single conversation we have she finds a way to bring it up

She doesn't say it nicely either she says it in hurtfull ways and says she wishes I was never born and that I look like an animal

And I just feel really alone I can't count on anyone in my family to talk to this about and my boyfriend doesn't listen to me or when I try talking to him about it he says oh and that's it

I've tried talking to my mom to tell her how it hurts me and how it affects me but she doesn't listen to me ;( please I need help and advice

    Well, in rules, parents are supposed to be respected because they care for you, they feed you, they made you. But when parents don't act like parents, I feel that's when the rules change. Tell your mom to stop it. Tell her that it would be SO disrespectful if you said that to her, why does she say that to you? Tell her, "I'm a kid, but you still need to respect me." (And other parents, I'm not talking about an adult against an adult)! But parents should gradually start to let their kid fly, but how can a kid fly when it's wing has been beaten? Tell her you love her, but she's really hurting you, and if she stops, I guess that means she was venting? If she doesn't stop, then stand your ground and tell her to stop, or you're leaving. Your boyfriend, there's not much you can do. Some guys aren't understanding, which is why he's probably not the one for you....

    The best way to deal with hurtful words in a close relationship is by explaining exactly how you feel, as calm and collected as you can. You need to make your mom understand just how unbearable her treatment is, how it makes you feel, and how you love her and want to make things better, that you want to your relationship to work. When we confront someone that's wrong, they usually get defensive and try to blame it on us, so you have to be patient and make her understand that's it's not ok for her to do what shes doing.

    If its to hard for you to confront her talking, you can try writing it all in a letter and asking her to read it, I find that some things are easier expressed that way.

    good luck, and don't let your mother's issues affect how you feel about yourself as a person...you have great valeu and this is something SHE has to change, not YOU...she's the one thats wrong for not making you feel as special as you are. help her be better!

    you should try talking about it with someone at school, friends, or a counselor. You should tell your mom that you hurt like actually straight up tell her that shes not perfect ether so whos she to judge you. tell her that your sorry your not the daughter she wanted but that your beautiful in your own way.

    I guarantee you your not ugly or look like a animal. we all have flaws and thats what makes us, us. were perfect just the way we are. and as long as your happy with who you are, screw what other people have to say.
