Today is my birthday.
It's the first birthday I had the chance to spend with friends and with my boyfriend, the first birthday I was actually looking forward to in the last days.
I never had the opportunity to celebrate my birthday with people other thank my mother, because I've never had friends to celebrate with, and I've never actually celebrated my birthday with my mother either because she's a terrible person, she never paid much attention to me and she usually abuses me both verbally and physically on my Birthday because she hates to see that I've make it another year.
I usually hate it too.
But this year I changed a lot, I've met my boyfriend and he helped me so much, we've made a lot of friends and we're happy with eachother.
We've organised a little party with four other people and I was really excited — this year is the first year I've received a gift.

Two of the four people I've invited me just texted me they can't come anymore, and I'm not sure the other two will come either.
My mother still abused me, insulting me just for existing.
I feel the same as every other birthday.
Why should I feel different?
It's a day as good as another.
People congratulate me for being born — "Happy Birthday!" "I hope you'll have a good day!" — and then I won't hear from them again for another whole year, they won't say anything about my abusive situation, they won't help me, they won't care.
Why should people even congratulate me on being born, if I didn't want to?
Go to my mother and congratulate her for her struggles in giving birth to me, instead.
I didn't do anything.
Nothing changed from the past year, nothing ever does.

Happy Birthday to me.

You said you're happy with your boyfriend, and made arrangements - just because the others pulled out, why are you making yourself suffer? Spend it with your boyfriend. Be kind to yourself.

Your day is about you, no one else.

Try to do something nice with yourself, or your boyfriend (or both!)

I hope you can get away from your mum one day. Best thing I ever did was move hundreds of miles away from mine, although not under great circumstances (I had no choice but to leave the area due to what happened).

Once you've cut your mum out or little contact, whatever works for you, you life will improve, definitely. My mum is very abusive too, so I understand. One day you'll be able to get away from that situation

Happy Birthday and all the best

Thank you for the encouragement and the kindness, I appreciate it deeply.
In the end, I argued a lot with my mother as always and things went as they always do (with her hitting me and insulting me), but I celebrated with my friends and boyfriend.
It was nice.
Thank you for the birthday wishes <3

I'm glad you ended up having a nice time with your boyfriend and friends, but so sorry your mum hurt you. Where are you based? Can I ask if you've ever spoken to any domestic abuse services? x

Thank you for the support <3
I never reached out to helplines or services because I am afraid of what could be the consequences of reporting the abuse, since I wouldn't have anywhere else to go and I am not a minor

I'm pretty sure with helplines they are generally confidential, and you could withhold your number or go onto their livechat if you are worried? they may also be able to help with housing advice
