Family issues: I am so tired of having to apologize for something I didn't do. What are my options?

Question - (19 April 2013) 4 Answers - (Newest, 19 April 2013)
A age 30-35, anonymous writes:

So I was wondering if anyone had any tips or ways to deal with a person who feels like they are always right.

My mom gets super upset when she feels that we are "missing the point entirely" and that she is always the one who gets blamed when she did "nothing wrong".

My mom adds words in with her answers to your question and she doesn't even realize she does it and when you point out or ask what was that for then she says how she didn't even say that and there is no changing her mind.

She claims that we always blame her for things she doesn't do and my dad always takes her side.

When she thinks she didn't do something even when she did if you call her out on it or point it out to her she calls you a liar and says you are wrong.

Sometimes I just dont know how to handle it and I am so tired of having to apologize for something I didn't do, and if I dont apologize then she wont speak to me.

How can I deal with this? Because it gets very difficult not to get emotional when she's in my face calling me a liar and telling me im wrong on something she really did do

R1 agony auntIf the things you are blaming her for are that bad then it doesn't matter whether she admits her guilt or not. If she isn't sorry and won't apologise then you need her to see how much what she has done has hurt you. Try and sit down and talk about things openly.

Sounds like your mother is one who likes everything to be under her control or lack of better words controlling. If you are no longer a minor, there shouldn't be a problem. When your an adult you are entitled to stay away from invoking parents like this. Your Choice!

This is verified as being by the original poster of the question

When we say she said something or did something(that she really did do) she claims we are blaming stuff on her that she didnt do and then she says that we can't take any responsibility for our actions. There is just no way we can make her realize that the things she claims we are blaming her for is what she actually said or did.

R1 agony auntWhat kind of things are you blaming your mum for? She is your mother so you so have to give her some respect. Maybe this is just the way she is and you just need to accept her for it. We can't choose our parents can we?!
