You have to make your own decision and do what's right for you. If you're family doesn't stand by you, you don't have to listen to them either. No one knows what you are going through but you. In my experience, no one really wanted to believe that my mother was that bad, therefore they chose not to believe me. I held my head high, stood my ground and did not let them sway my decision. Like I said, it was very hard. Good luck.

People parents don't dislike them for no reason. The child must have did something the mom don't like.

Talk to your mum. Calmly. Ask her why and tell her how you feel. If it starts getting like a heated discussion or a row...take yourself away until your calmer.
Listen to what she is upset about, dont interrupt her, this will just frustrate things more
Ask, listen, build. Love.

Hello, I would like to listen to you and help you as much as I can. You could sit down and chat with your mother and ask her the questions you want answers to and I hope that it helps.

Take a deep breath and try if you can to reflect on those who truly care about you, you are a one of a kind and have nothing to worry about, have you spoken to her about it?

Why don't you try talking to her and see what she feels? She may not hate you, may just act like it.

so does mine, and same with alot of friends i know. and sometimes you cant force love into people who refuse to but keep the people who do love you close. Family doesn't always mean blood

I would just be honest and ask her face to face. Worst situation: She tells you why she hates you. Best situation: It turns out your wrong and she actually likes you X

I will try and understand much better the situation and if it's really the case then you should talk to your dad or a member of your family. Or I will help you

If you genuinely don't know why she hates you, and you've tried to see the issue from all perspectives with no avail, maybe it's time to try to talk to her. After all, no one can read other people's minds. The only way to definitely know why is to ask her. Maybe you could find a quiet time and place to sit down with her and have a serious conversation? If this is too uncomfortable for you and you are afraid you'll panic and not know what to say, you could try writing a letter. Another alternative is to have a neutral third party to intervene, such as an mature adult, a good friend or a therapist. I hope this helps you. Good luck.

I am certain your mother cares for you so much. Talk to her and tell her how you feel and maybe she will tell you what is going on

I'm so sorry to hear you feel this way.
Maybe you could try talking to her & explaining how you feel.
Or perhaps talking it through with a trusted family member or friend & get their advice...
There is always someone here at 7 cups to support & listen to you if you ever need it.
You are not alone.

How can you possibly know for sure? You can't change people, you can only love them. And the cure to hatred is always love. Truth is , people who full of hatred is the one who needed love the most.

Mothers sometimes can have resentments toward their children for whatever reason. The best way to deal with resentment is a combination of time to heal, and communication when there's an opening.

Maybe you just feel as though she hates when in reality she probably doesn't ? What about talking to her about how you feel ?

Its always good if you can sit her down and talk about it. Ask her directly why she is acting the way she is towards you. But if you have tried that and it doesn't work then it is good if you can create a bit of distance or space between you guys will also be good.

I think finding out why your mother allegedly hates you, or if she even does, and talking to her about it and maybe go to a counsellor with her.

A mother can't hate her children. You are her babe. Talk about your feelings and she will understand you.

Lots of the time there can be misunderstandings, I think you need to sit down and have a chat with her and see what's up. Remember if things get a little rough in the chat yelling and violence is never the key, if your worried that will happen write a simple note on how you feel and some questions you want answered💘
