Cancer females(or males) have mother issues?

Question: Do Cancer females or even males tend to have mother issues?

I'm a cancer and well, to put it simply, at times I loathe my mother. It could also be that she is a capricorn and that similar to water and oil, cancers and capricorns simply do not mix, but my best friend is a capricorn and we get along VERY well. The thing is I'm a very unstable person and I know this. And I'm going through a part of my life where I'm feeling hopeless, confused, and just miserable. I suffer from lack of confidence and self esteem. And at times when I need to pick myself up, I do my best. However, I have begun to realize a pattern: everytime I try to give myself some encouragement and hope, my mother puts me down by essentially telling me I'm worthless and that there is no hope. And this just makes me furious, because I feel as if the one person who is always suppose to be on my side is against me. Thus in a way, I feel so alone. I know it might sound kind of selfish, but I really need some advice. Can anyone else relate and give me direction during this difficult time? Thank you!

I have mother issues as well, she left me and my brother with my dad when I was 8 years old. He was very abusive and neglectful. I eventually went to live with her when I was 14 but by then I didn't need her, I practically raised myself and been taking care of myself ever since. I see her more as a friend than a mother, in many ways I'm more mature than her and she looks up to me for advice and what decisions to make. For the longest time I helped her a lot but came to realize that she only saw me as a tool and didn't really care about my thoughts and feelings or whether or not I was happy. I have a cordial relationship with her but I don't tell her anything about my life 'cause she's never been supportive or encouraging. Everything I've done has been on my own and with encouragement or support from other people. Every time I told her something good that happened to me or any successes I had she seemed to get jealous and annoyed and would immediately change the subject. Many times she just calls me to talk about herself and her problems and then hangs up without once asking how I am or what I'm doing.

I understand your anger and sadness over your mother's lack of support and encouragement. You should accept that she will never be the person you need her to be and seek that support and encouragement from other people and from yourself. Many times when I feel alone and I'm at the point of despair, I picture myself as the 8 year old child and my adult self giving her a hug and telling her that everything is going to be OK, that she's strong, smart and that she deserves to be happy and loved even if her mother is not there for her.

I don't know what your living situation is but if you live with your mother, try to find away to move out and spend as little time with her as possible. Don't tell her your plans, hopes and dreams for the future because she will try to put you down. She's doing this because she feels like a failure, her life is probably shitty and she has never accomplished something worthwhile so she's taking it out on you 'cause it makes her feel better. Don't let her bring you down anymore, move out if you can and stay away from her.

Hi missycancerxd i am not a cancer but my ex bf was, he had the same issues like yours. He use to be upset a lot because of his mom's nagging. He hated it to see his mom so not supportive. All i can say is most of the people have a mom like this but it is only because,they only worried about you. Me i try to focus on what i am doing currently and don't let their talks bother me because it is you who knows yourself.

probably... they're real cry babies about everything.... omg :/ well some of the ones I encounter... gosh.....
