I just don't know

I was talking to my mom this morning. She was telling me about some of her near future goals. Then, and I'm still unsure how her conversation got from a-b, she starts attempting to tell me that manipulating people is easy. "You know you can manipulate people, get what you want."

I instantly shut down. Panic, anxiety, fear, hate, rage, confusion. The woman who raised me is telling me about using people. My mother, is a sociopath.

I've always respected her because I thought she was a person of high moral standing. Now I couldn't feel more disconnected from her. I don't want to exist anymore.
 
Manipulation is so evil. But not wholly I guess... reminds me of the yin-yang symbol. Sorry you're going through this... I've been going through some stuff with my own mother that there's no clear solution to. She's had a hard life and whether you want to or not you can start taking things out on the ones you love and it goes both ways. Anyway I just wanted to give my regards and I hope you start to feel better. Message me if you ever just need someone to listen.
 
When I hear somebody disclose something like this (discovering an unsavory characteristic about someone close), I tell them, "at least you know who you are dealing with".

Kind of disappointing to have a person fall so far who you respected so much for so long. I'll assume you're an adult and that when the shock wears off you'll feel a little better about it.
 
i read this thread thinking, eh whatever not that bad... but when i read it now... damn thats fucked up. what did you say?
 
honestly im ehh. about it. people use people all the time. and shes kinda right. people are easy to manipulate to get what you want/need.
