It wasn't the *trip* I should have worried about... (vent)

[Rajah]

It was the huge attitude my mother would have when we got back that I should have been worried about.

I know that she's upset to be back here in a city she hates in a house she currently resents with cars she resents being reminded of what my grandparents have that she *doesn't* have but should, so on and so forth. But that doesn't give her the right to snap at me every time I try to talk to her or to yell at me because I'm being defensive.

HECK YEAH I'M BEING DEFENSIVE! Every time I try to say anything at all I'm being snapped or growled at or lectured!

Right now, I'm not talking to her.

I could use some prayers for calming down, being patient, and forgiving her if y'all can spare them. Right at this second, I want nothing more to do with her. Which is sad, because we had a very good trip.

You both just need some space from each other and that is ok. Give it a couple of days and then call her.

I've been thinking about you Tammi.

Take some deap breaths.





<-----This is a hug caught off guard.

You know, that's probably true. After a week together, it's not unusual for us to start snapping at each other (we're too alike, including the timing on our moods ) and add in the stress of this return, that just makes it all the more true. Thanks for the voice of logic.

Wobin -- As always, you're able to make me Thanks.

She did call back about 4 hours later and while she didn't exactly apologize (she rarely does ), she did try to make up, so we're at least on speaking terms again. But I'm not going to get together with her for a few days. Give each other our space for a little bit.

Thanks for the prayers, everyone.

sounds like there is a lot going on in her head. You are her source of release. Sorry for you, hope things get better.

take care

Hugs to you and your mom. You have both been through so much. I think a little time apart is a good idea.

Sorry to hear that, Tammi, glad she called. My best in the days ahead. As Jenn said, being close for a few days can be tough too.

You're probably the only person she feels comfortable enough with to vent about any and everything. Tell her to buy a punching bag and vent to it instead.
