Wow, I can't believe you have those SAME convos w/your Mom. Like you I can't put a finger on WHY it makes me so mad (though I think ST touches on it in her post). Glad someone can relate!
Thanks for not gushing... .. I LOVE the positives but honestly feel.. I dunno.. not confident in it, or something. Like it's probably just a "get through the holidays" or "get through the D with minimal damage" - I'm not ACTING that way, I hope, but I feel it and it's probably why I seem low key.
f21 Thanks my dear!! You sound great, too. It's a CAR FINDER...
Your Mom, too? Must be more common than I realized.
ST Thanks for shaking on it!! Seems more official that way.
Excellent point - and I'm SURE you are right. She doesn't want to take any responsility, accountability, etc. in what happened and I think it makes her defensive or even mad when I show my own "weaknesses." Sadly I don't really think she'll ever get past, or through, or whatever you want to call it, the M with my Dad... so guess I need to figure out how to deal w/that.
Nothing too exciting to add tonight... but thanks for posting, all!!
