Why do I hate being touched by my mum?
4 Comments

I hate being touched by anyone, especially by my mum. Even as a little kid, I would find her disgusting when she cuddled me. Wasn't I supposed to be bound to her?
I love my mum. We are very close. I have been told I have the eldest child syndrome, so I feel very bad, when I pull away, as she gets upset.
I have been molested few times, but never by someone from my family.
Do you think it's normal?

Hard to say - but if you are OK with that, and its just a matter of not wanting to upset your Mom, then gently let her know that that is just how you feel & is not a reflection of how you feel towards her. Find expressions of love that you can accept. And be happy that you are loved.

I don't think its abnormal! People react differently to physical contact i suppose, maybe you should sit down and tell your mom how you feel. There are lots of other ways to show love!

How old are you? Are you a teen going through that phase whereby you're always feeling like, "Get away mum, get away"?

Not at all. I am 27.
I believe I found out what it is all about. I want to reject her affection. I am mad at her for not protecting me when I was a kid. She was always very depressed, as she wasn't happy with my dad. I was harassed, I was abused, I was molested. I couldn't tell her, I didn't want to make life harder for her.
Now when she gives me a hug, I find it phony, I want to tell her what motherhood is about, but I don't and I won't, because she is again in a depression. She is not happy with her second husband either. What a surprise.
Thanks everyone for your comments!
