Finally some peace and quiet at long last... I am at present in quite a dour mood because of my mom. Only she has the ability to evoke my temper and bring out the worst in me. Every since this morning, she has been aiming caustic remarks at me. No, scratch that, everysince my step-dad returned, we have barely been communicating and the only time she address me is when she has something to tell me off for..

As of yesterday, we were 'maidless'. This morning, having had days of lacking sleep, I was understandably bleary and slow on the uptake. She then launched into a tirade about me not knowing anything, not doing anything when in actual fact I was more than willing to help out and was all ready to wash the dishes. And she would go....when I was your age, I already....... Yes yes, I have heard all these before, I can practically memorize them by heart. Its like, hello, I am not feeling very well, instead of screaming at me, I would really appreciate her showing some care and concern which is practically non-existent these days. It seems to me that she bears deep-rooted resentment against me...just because I look like Dad and takes after him???? I know I should try to be more understaning, but how to when she isnt receptive at all...

Whyyyyy????? does she hate me so.....What have I ever done to receive such treatement.... trying hard to fight back tears...
