We know them na! .

But he actually did not say anything ethnic based just pointing out what we all see that lots of ibo mothers do this wickedness.

Shes from edo. Not igbo

DonBenny77:

I think say na only my Mama oh!
When people say they love their mum and celebrate them on social media it's so strange to me because I can't relate.
My mum is a religious Fanatic and Bigot just like yours
She claims to hear directly from holy Spirit, accuses everyone of witchcraft, can't live peacefully with anybody not even one friend.
The woman is just impossible

I just pity for my younger brother and their future wives. My brothers think its normal

CarlosTheJackal:
Take that step to leave that home and see better times in your life ahead.

Your mother is sick and hides under religion to cover her mental state.

Don't give in to her theatrics again, stand up to her and walk away

That's what I intend on doing.
I'm not planning to be wayward or whatever, I just want to experience peace of mind for now
Thank you

Live your life independently

I pray so too
Thanks

I'm a lady, almost in my thirties now. I have a mother who is very godly , if not over godly (she claims after God is Jesus christ, then after Jesus christ is her) p.s , shes a pastor.
She believes she does nothing wrong and incapable of offending anyone.

She and my dad used to fight alot when he was alive, to the point that she left the house on various occasions with us to go live somewhere else, later we would come back , when they fight we would leave again and the cycle continued several times affecting I and my siblings education. I used to think my dad was the bad person(that was what she made us believe). She painted all bad pictures of him and his family to us, this has today caused a gap between we and our fathers family since theres no relationship whatsoever .

Even with her own family right now, shes at war with them. My cousin died three weeks ago and I know we're not at speaking terms with them but my mum showed no sign of sadness, all she said was that one of her enemies has died.

Even members of her church dont stay with her ip to a year at least. People are always coming and going, she talks to someone anyhow in church, insinuate things about them and paste it on them. There was lady who just left. She sufferd emotional abuse from my mum a lot. The lady is a gullible type and always succumbs to what my mum says. Worst part of it is that my mum always uses her sin to condemn her each time she feels the lady has offended her. This lady will be crying most of the time and I'll be like she's a fool, already she has a choice, me and my siblings dont. That's how this lady beared and beared saying she want to obey God ( my mum), so her life will be okay until one day she cut all of us off including my mum, she spent want to speak to her again.


Now to my own personal story. I'm the third child , I learnt to live with this character from my mum but as I grow older , it just keeps getting on my nerves. I cant make decisions for my self because I have to obey God (my mum) . I can't have any friends, she said all my friends are possessed that she doesnt want to see them In her house. One of my friends even lost her mother due to stroke, I knew the mum at the time she was sick, so it was something that made me cry, when I told my mum she said she's a witch that it's good that she died. My elder sister doesnt talk to her till date based on how she treated her. My elder brother had to sneak away from the house just to have peace of mind.

She doesnt know how to tolerate people/us or overlook our actions sometimes, everything she must talk. There was a day when she started at me, saying things I have never imagined, justifying it with the fact that shes a pastor who sees all things. I only tried to explain myself, she started beating me which I told her to leave me alone, next thing she injured me on my eyes , blood flowed that moment, I thought I was going to go blind but thank God. Several times she has physically abuse me and mostly it is saying things that can make me commit suicide. She has no iota of respect for her children. This is the woman I give almost half of my salary everything, making me not to take care of myself as i should. When she feels that I have paid, she'll start thinking i dont want to give her money, she'll say I must give her, that shes the one that trained me to read and write( lies! My own education was entirely my dad's doing. And I'm even a sec school cert owner, not like she trained me to university level) . I sha wont have peace for those days. Still yet she wont respect me. She acts like this to all my younger ones but my own case is worse. I've depressed because of her, I got so thin and she was still the one laughing at me again, she said shes ashamed of me that I look so unattractive, and compared me to my younger sister back then. The more I stay with her, the more I become bitter towards her. Now I'm not saying shes overall rude, she has her good times, when she all okay and tries to provide but she makes it important that we must have issue at least once every week and its affecting my mental health.

The one that happened of recent is that in church on sunday, she left what God asked her to preach and started comparing me with one of her member mocking the clothe I put on(this Is something I've been wearing in her eyes, she called me a old woman and all the members were laughing at me openly, then she told them I was going to cry, where I sat I was just boiling, i has to walk out of service that day. If i dress fine she'll complain, if i dont she'll compare, i just wanted to look simple that day. She really offended me that day cos i cant get that laughter off my mind, now shes expecting me to come kneel down and beg her(for what?!) She refused to talk to me since that dsy, she travelled, she calls all my younger ones and they pass the phone to each other but she doesnt want to talk to me, me too I dont want to call her, I dont know how to pretend cos shes the one who offended me. I dont know If I can ever enter her church again cos I'm so ashamed of myself.

I plan to get work on the island and I'll find a friend who I can squat with, so I can leave her house for her for my mental health sake and so I can take care of myself. I would have left since, but because of what society will say about me being a lady not in her parents house. I dont think I care anymore


Sorry for the epistle, if I should go on and on you might read for three days straight. Thanks
