Was mentally abused my whole childhood by my alcoholic mother and listening to that audio really brought me back to it. I empathise dearly for you and the best thing you can do for yourself is to get far away from these people.
I feel your anger and grief through your words and as much as I did the same thing, it isn’t constructive. Ignorance is a major human flaw and seems like your mother has many flaws. But speaking to her the way you do is causing nobody harm besides yourself. You cannot reason with people like this as hard as it sounds. Sure they are your blood but family isn’t meant to be self centred. You’ll find your family hun and the best part is, you’ll know the second you meet them. It’s not blood that binds human beings it’s emotion- love, compassion,etc.
Get far away from that hell of an environment and look after yourself. You may have not had anybody there for you when you were young but you’ve got yourself, and it may not feel like much but at least you know who you are and you know who your mum is and I’m sure you’ve vowed to never be like those people. As much as this torture and abuse shouldn’t have happened, you’ll be a better person from it. You just need to get away from them
