Thank you again, Karen!

As you can tell, I have R issues with my mom. I know she loves me and wants the very best for me. I know that, and I respect and love her so much for it. However, I didn't exactly have the greatest childhood. Who does, right? But there were things that occurred in mine which have unfortunately left me with anger and resentment towards my mom. I don't blame her for things that happened, but I have issues with how she chose to deal with them.

I do not dwell on this. The past is the past. It's only when she shows her disappointment and/or disapproval towards my choices that I become annoyed.

I should add that in my mom's e-mail she also asked, "Are you sure I don't need to take tomorrow off?" She was originally going to watch the boys for me while I went to court. Asking this after telling her about the continuance was almost as if she was trying to make me rethink my decision.
