Hi Christine mine goes in total denial if you say anything after and accuses me of telling lies.even if someone else says you did say that ,he'll the fly off the handle saying everone else is lying

Just over a year ago my Mum texted me and said she'd be watching Brat Camp and that the children on there reminded her of me. I was never that bad but what really hurt was that she knew I was at Gaynor's funeral at the time and she still sent it! We're getting on better now.

I woulnd't want to repeat it on here, but it was from an ex-member of this site. It played upon my worst experiences, something this person should not have known about anyway, and twisted it into something truly evil. What a nasty piece of work - and the person who'd told tales too.

Someone accused me of being rascist. Something I am not, and I absolutly HATE! I could have poked their eyes out! lol To be honest though, the person who said it, wasn't the most intelligent person in the world, and I doubt she even knew what it meant! lol.

Not to me but to a very good friend. She was 14, and came home from Boarding School to find her parents had moved house. When she eventually tracked them down, she rang the bell and her mother stood on the doorsetp and said 'What can I do for you Sue'?

I was a policeman for thirty years so some terrible things were said to me. A frequently asked question which used to annoy me was when you were called out ( a lot in those days). to disputes between husband and wife. I was single for a few years, and the question was always ' are you married?'. 'No' well what the blankety blank do you know about it? Happy days

Why is it always mums?is it because we love them so much , they can hurt us twice as bad as anybody else, Gill

Grandma said as much to me that her losing her son hurt more than me losing my Daddy!! Like you can measure the pain???? I think Mum's need to think very carefully what they say now!! Help break the cycle!! xx

It wasn't said to me but my paternal grandma told my mother that her mother said if she married my grandad all her children would be blind. Cruel or what. Gill

doesn't it hurt more when it comes from your mum. My mum has never been the most caring person and often says things that are very hurtful. Each one of my siblings, including myself had insecurity issues for a long time. Now we deal with it and realize 'She speaks before she thinks' I think the one comment that sticks hardest was the time she told me I looked like my aunt Audrey only fatter. I had been sick in bed for a week and just feeling better went to visit mum. That was my greeting comment. My aunt Audrey has been an alchoholic for years and is very haggered looking from self abuse but I love her immencley (splt) but know what she has done to herself, so don't know if I was more upset about the hit on me or the insult towards my aunt.??????

Mums can be harsh. When I first moved out (at her request) she made sure she wasn't in the house when I came to pick up my belongings. She'd thrown all my stuff in bags and left them out with a 2 page A4 letter telling me how I was never going to amount to anything in life and how she was ashamed of me. Still hurts to this day, probably because she never said Sorry.

Not said to me.....but I have a vivid memory of hearing (at about the age of 6) my mother saying to my father that if she hadn't had me, she wouldn't have got breast cancer. She died when I was 8 Reg

two things really stick out in my mind- 1.When my brother died ''Oh well, he wasn't your REAL brother'' some understanding of adoption there then. ---------------------------------------------------------------- 2. when my older full sibling asked our birth mother if she'd had any more children after her - and she denied i existed. - apparently she ''wouldn't be THAT stupid'' ....erm?!!

Just carry on proving her wrong Bec. Maybe she'll eventually see it. Paul x

After 2 years of fertility treatment being told by the consultant that I would never bear a child. Happily he was wrong and 3 years later I became pregnant and now have a lovely daughter. I will never forget those words though

My Mother always saying to this day, if someone says I look like her...' Oh God no she is like her Father....nothing like me' She divorced 35 years ago and hates him.........meanwhile she carries a picture to show of my younger sister and says 'This is the good looking one like me'..

The worst thing ever said to me was. I was an unfit mother and the boys and my 6mnth old baby should be put in care by my own daughter 2 days after my dad died

Awww Lemon that's awful ((((hugs))))

''Your dad died last night'' Will never forget it as it was like a blade to my heart. LOU xxx

Lou - BIG HUG!! xx
