A young South African lady took to her twitter handle, @bridgetbsk, to narrate the ordeals she allegedly suffered from her mother.
She said the battery was such that if her mum dies, she is unlikely to grieve.
She narrated how her mother physically abused her since she was a child and how she was terrified and scared throughout her childhood.
“My mother abused me physically, she would beat me up like she was fighting an adult.
“I remember this one time she was kicking me on my abdomen because I lost a R100 (less than eight dollars), that day I started menstruating,” she said.
I personally don’t think I would cry if my mother dies”
Here is what she tweeted;
Some mothers are usually very toxic but they don’t know it. https://t.co/DVj16YVTrR

When I’m strong enough & ready to let the world in…I will explain why I have operation scars that start from thighs down to my legs. But today I just wanted us all to know that a mother can break you. I’m glad I never broke. I’m a phenomenal woman because of all this.

My chest tightens whenever she asks me for money. Like…okay..how are you asking someone whom you kept on telling that you want nothing from them even if they ever made it in life? I personally don’t think I’d cry if my mom died, it would be such a relief tbh. She hurt me a lot

Black parents are abusive but nobody wants to talk about this.

Don’t tell me “she’s your mom”, she never played that role. I was her punching bag whenever my step dad did something to upset her. I was so young…I feared my mom. My heart would race whenever she came back from town. I found peace when she had gone out for a few hours.

I still have this one memory that makes me laugh but it’s sad okay. So she instructed me to cook pap & I did but it was undercooked cuz I was young…So she made me eat the whole pot while slapping me 🙃🤦🏾♀️. Wow..guys what if I was adopted?

I could write a book about this woman but these are stories we don’t talk about on this app because our mothers are “perfect” 🙃.

She tormented me. She was supposed to be my best friend, she was supposed to protect me from this cruel world, but no I had to learn how to have my own back. I had to learn that I’m beautiful..on my own without anyone’s validation. She failed me as her only child.

There’s this verse that really stresses me guys, the one about honoring your mom & dad so that all can be well? What about me who has to cut all ties bafets?

I’m okay now. I’m far away from her. I went for therapy for about 4 years cuz I needed to build myself & heal. I needed to be okay so that I too could be a good therapist 😊..the therapist I am today.

I forgave her but I don’t think I owe her anything, my psychologist told me to block her and cut her off.

Guys stop saying this was discipline. I was never a problem child. I was even isolated from other kids, I had no one to play with. I was always drawing people on the yard at home, even the drawing pissed my mom off. Also this is not even half of my story..it’s a glimpse.

Guys, I couldn’t wait to grow up. I remember praying to wake up old and in my own place where she couldn’t hurt me. I never enjoyed my childhood because I was my mother’s punching bag.

😂🤦🏾♀️ I never had a chance to study throughout primary school…I was always scared and terrified. I don’t know how I survived my mom. I honestly don’t know how I survived the monster she was.
