10 Points Given Immediately. I really need this question answered, please.?
Should I start with my mother or my father? My mother has "anxiety problems." that prevent her from doing anything. from going outside, to going with me (her own daughter) out to eat, out for a walk, to do anything basically. It's almost as if she has made this part of her daily routine she also sleeps a lot excessively. I have begged and pleaded for her to get help to no avail she has the resources available but she won't take them, this is physically making me ill.
And then there's my father or should I refer to him as s---- donor? because he isn't really what a father should be he cheats, and lies, and he used to verbally and physically abuse me when I was a kid. even though I'm an adult, I really HATE him. He makes me feel like I'm garbage. Not to mention he treats his whores better than me.
I've been thinking about stopping communication with both of them for good, that is unless one or both of them change for good. I just don't need negative people in my life anymore.
Hey guys been a while since I have been here just wanted to give you an update, I no longer speak with either my mother or father and I am doing better.

I went through some similar things. not so much with my dad, he's great but my mom was young when she had me and had a lot of problems that got taken out on me. my step mother was terrible to me and has major depression/anxiety/mental health problems. So eventually all of these things were getting to me so I talked with my MD bc I just did not know how to change them. So he suggested I see a psychologist, turns out, you cant change them but you can be helped to cope with those things and strengthen yourself. it really is helpful

You do not need to cut your mother out of your life. She's someone who needs help, but your father is another issue. You should cut him out of your life (as he can also be affecting your mother's behavior). But your mother is someone you should try to help, and if you don't have a professional, if she says she doesn't want one, try and help her. Take baby steps with her, and if she cant recover, then get a therapist or a professional to come to the house. And if she is physically making you ill, and mentally making you ill, you have to pull through because she is your mother, if you can support yourself, leave the house, but make sure to stay in contact with your mom, and try to get her to come over, and show her that nothing would hurt her, and that you will be there for her.

You don't need to cut your mom out of your life... no matter what she is still your mom... however your dad you can stop talking to him because he sounds like a bad influence and not a good person. If you are 18 and over and can support yourself you can move out... but visit your mom occasionally and call her EVERYDAY... I am sure she loves you so much and you mean the world to her and all that she has is you.
