i've had it...

For the next few paragraphs or so I am going to sound like some stupid little angst-filled teenage girl who hates the world. I do not, however, hate the world. No, at this moment I hate something much closer to home. Namely my mother. And I've had it. Had it with days and weeks and months and years and a lifetime of this crap. So now I'll tell you why, just to justify my resentment a teeny, tiny bit (not that it helps much-I know I'm wrong).

I hate her. She's the biggest hypocrite I have ever met in my entire life. Nothing is right in her eyes. Nothing. But can she make a mistake? No. Oh, heavens no! Heaven forbid that MOTHER could make a mistake. She can do no wrong, and if you say so, be prepared to have your head guillotined off with a blunt blade and thrown to the dogs.

So I can't approach her and tell her how her actions make me feel. I can't tell her what really happened, because it gets twisted to fit how she remembers it. She didn't give me the dance shoes because they didn't fit her anymore-I stole them. She didn't tell my dad and sisters it was okay for them to use the washing machine all day-I wasn't proactive in getting my stuff done during the rest of the week (and though she fights it, the laundry room was full the ENTIRE week and I couldn't do it at all until today, and it was MY fault that someone turned off the machine while my clothes were in it-not my sister's. She didn't suggest to me that I could take classes online-I did it so that I could monopolize the computer that has a printer. I'M always the bad guy. I'M always the one that screws everything up.

And so right now I'm being a petty, selfish brat and saying that I hate my mother. Chastise me, correct me, tell me that I'm wrong, because you're probably right. I know you're right. And I'll agree with you, but not right now. Maybe tomorrow. But definitely not now. Because right now-I hate her.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!

  1. If you have really had it, you must talk to her. Can the situation get any worse?

  2. Georgie, my first response was to by sympathetic with your mom because A) I'm a mom and B) I remember distinctly misunderstanding my own. The more I read though I was thinking of other people I know who are unreasonable mothers. Perhaps you do have one of those.

    I'm sorry. I hope things get better, one way or the other. I don't think you're the bad guy, K?

    Keep trying on that dialogue when things calm down. (Sorry, I'm eternally a mother now.)
