I'm so sick and tired of never being allowed to be panicked or upset or lazy or bad with Mom. I'm always "neurotic, or "just like my Auntie Laura", or "too black-and-white", or "too mean". Or I'm "always a quitter", or "going to be an addict and alcoholic sad and alone and a bum like my Dad was", or "not caring about my parents many contributions that make in comparison a letdown to the family", or too pathetic. Or I'm "*special*" or "robotic" or "weird" or "annoying" or "a bitch" or "a shut-in" or "something we're disappointed with" I try to understand that being a parent is hard, when I'm stressed I'LL snip, but I also have that counterpoint there. She doesn't want to apologize, she's still right apparently. I'm really frustrated and would like her to stop calling me this stuff and take a while away from me or tell meshe's "feeling stressed and can't" right now. I PROMISE I'd respect that, I'd never call Mom a bitch. ever. because she's my Mom and I love her.
