Yep but i live with my stepmother. She's not masculine she's just a bitch. I'm moving out of the house soon so i am really excited to be away from my parents.Zipper said:Any guys out there who had mothers that acted like men? Cold, distant, unaffectionate, domineering, puritanical, strict-regulating martinets? Do you blame your social anxiety and timidity on her?

Hmm. my mom was pretty much the inverse. but I guess she was controlling in her own way. She was really really over protective and I think that may have contributed to my SA. though I'm not going to lay blame on her. I had some pretty traumatic stuff happen as a kid that I think had more to do with it than anything else.
My mother's definitely got issues. Having a conversation with her is near impossible because she's so opinionated and sensitive to being questioned. If your view differs from hers, she takes it as an insult, like you're saying she's stupid or something. It's not long from there before the conversation degenerates into name-calling and shouting. So you either go along with what she says and feel like a worm for not speaking-up and just paying lip-service, or you voice your opinion like a normal human being and get berated for it. It's very oppressive, it taught me that I didn't know anything and that I was a terrible person for questioning my mother's stance on things.
Has she got a disease? Do you know what it is? I ask that because I know one person like your mother: can´t talk just shouts.

It's a big part of the reason why I have self esteem problems.
My Dad is very cold and domineering. Has a terrible temper! and my mum just agrees with everything he says like a puppet. Thus a relationship is near impossible because all my dad does is criticism and nag! in a very negative way too the point where i just feel ill talking to him.
Because i am not everything he wants me to be i am disliked. He has even said "I don't like you" to me on several occasions.
