OK...I remove myself to the bathroom to have a bath in peace as you are in a bad mood and still hanging around even after I have tried to lighten the mood. I figure that I should just remove myself from the situation before I stuff it up even worse.
bubble bath with candles for me.
u come in to brush your teeth and then stand there and ask if you can get in with me.
wtf? stupid me just says "um, the bath's a bit small don't you think" when what I should have said is. "um...we're separated. We don't do baths together any more"
and today when I call you back (should have not bothered) we get into another discussion. I point out that I didn't feel like I could do anything right so I went to have some time alone in the bathroom and you come in without any preamble or small talk and ask to get in. Husbands and wives have baths together, boyfriends and girlfriends have baths together. Do best friends (which is what you want to be now) have baths together? Your answer??
Why not?
*speechless* I don't know wtf to say any more. You don't seem to understand the concept of intimacy and boundaries and what is appropriate and what is not. you claim that we will never be 'just best friends' as we have seen so much of each other, good and bad, so this sort of thing should be ok?? Short of cutting you out of my life altogether, how do I make you see that you need to take a big freaking step back and let me adjust.
oh and daughter?? eat your goddamn tuna at the table, not on the carpet!
My God.....I could just scream blue bloddy murder.
I know it's mean of me but I hope your parents smack some sense into you this w/e. The reality is, that even if they tried, you wouldn't listen to them anyway. _________________
