How can a mother hate her daughter so much ?—Depressed lady cries out.

People say a mother cannot hate on her child,but I feel indifferent about this statement.

I’m the second child of my parents, the first and only girl in the family, and to be honest, life has been bittersweet.

As much as I can remember, I had a child hood full of trauma, as my mother is someone who likes hitting on me at every given opportunity. Growing up, there were times when I felt like running away from home. I would always cry myself to sleep, wondering if this woman I stare at every day birthed me.

My daddy on the other hand, loves me very much and was always buying whatever I wanted. He enrolled me in one of the best schools, but somehow, my mom always tries to stop the sweet relationship between my dad and me.

She finds joy in formulating lies against me just so my dad can see me in a different way. I was always sad and depressed.

This whole situation left me traumatized, and I hated the sight of my mom.

When I was much younger, my mom gave me 500 naira to go and buy fish, and I mistakenly lost the money.

That day, my mom inserted pepper into my private part. It was horrible. I felt like killing myself, but then, life had to go on. I was only a child, and there was nothing I could do at that time.

Now I’m an adult,and same trauma has haunted me every now and then. I still find myself distant from my mom.
we barely communicate. she treats my other siblings better than she treats me.

The worst part of it is that, my mom tries to instigate fights between i and my siblings. I’m so confused, and I’m wondering if this woman is really my mother.

I need help! How do I go about this whole situation? Sometimes I feel like reporting my mom to the ministry of women affairs,but I’m scared that legal actions will be taken against her and my family might not forgive me.

But I’m genuinely worried, because if she doesn’t have a good relationship with her only daughter, then what will happen when I give birth? I fear that she might extend same hatred towards my children.

Please, I need advice on how to go about this situation.
