A young girl has spoken out and asked the internet for help after her mother scolded her for not crying over her seemingly dead body.

As the 16-year-old revealed in her Reddit post, her mother had been faking death ever since she was just four years old.

Recalling the first time she fell victim to her 47-year-old mom’s ruthless prank, the teen wrote:

“So this is going to be weird. One of my earliest memories is a four-year-old me crying over my mother’s (47) (seemingly) dead body until she jump scared me.”

After her successful attempt at scaring her daughter, the mother didn’t back down but continued to up her game and pretend she’s dead at least once per month in order to get a response from her daughter.

“Ever since then at least once or twice a month she has done this,” the teenager added.

“I didn’t figure it out until I was like nine or 10 and even after I played along minus the crying and on seeing me not crying I saw her giving me (what I now know as) wary glances.”

As the daughter says, these bizarre interactions went on for years until one day she finally stood up to her mom and decided to ignore her after catching her pretending to be dead.

“I then went to check on her and saw her in the same position when she pretended to be dead,” she said of the day she saw her mom faking death after she failed to answer her calls.

“I knew nothing bad had happened on seeing her breathing and stealing glances at me thinking I didn’t know. I just closed the bedroom door and went to the kitchen to grab some food.”

Moments later, the furious mom confronted her daughter and asked her why she refused to check on her after seeing her lie on the floor.

“I just replied with ‘I think I’m too old for this game now,’” the teen added.

“She didn’t seem to see the humor though because next thing I know she is shouting at me, calling me ungrateful and selfish.

“She then started crying and said that I didn’t care about her anymore and would be glad if she passed away.”

In a bizarre turn of events, the mother then locked herself away and refused to come out of her room unless she needed food.

“She has been there since, except for the few disappointed/angry glances my way when she came out to get food. Her eyes were red,” the 16-year-old explained.

As she also admitted, she has since been feeling guilty for not playing along with her mom’s game or trying to be “more gentle” in her approach despite feeling “exhausted” and “sick” about it.

Nevertheless, internet users were quick to back up the teen and accuse the mother of being emotionally abusive and mentally disturbed.

“This is a pretty manipulative and traumatic prank to repeatedly play on a child. Please don’t take her reaction too seriously, there will be many more like this as you become your own person. She needs therapy,” someone wrote.

“What your mother is doing is emotional abuse. Period. This is not a Halloween trick, this is trying to make your child believe you have died so you can bask in their grief. She is mentally disturbed and somehow is feeding off this emotion,” another said.
