I am freaking pissed now. Why? Very few things make me angry, and one of them is my mum. You know the feeling of being maligned? Thats the worst feeling of all, you know you are innocent, but the other person just won't believe you. And its over such a small, stupid thing.
We were coming home from lunch today, opened the door, and out shot my 2 dogs( I dun want to go into a long story about the temperaments of my dogs). I just made a offhand comment, that Joy(my westie) was quite paranoid cos everytime she sees me carrying my big bag, she would run away to hide. Mum, predictably, jumped to her defence. I started to say,"but do you...." I wasnt given a chance to finish my sentence before she jumped to the conclusion that I thought she didnt know what 'paranoid' meant, then she started saying that I looked down at her, that I thought her command of english is poor, blah blah blah, now that I am a university student, can look down at her....and she started ranting on and on...and proceeded to give me the silent treatment throughout the day, and I am sure for a long time to come..
I am like wtf, you didnt even give me a chance to hear me out before you jumped to your own conclusion. That wasnt what I meant at all. Does she listen? No!!!
I am trying so hard to be patient, to be a 'good' daughter. Its really very hard. How not to argue back?Swallow my pride. Yup, thats what I did. Hiding in my room for the rest of the day till dinner time which was such a strained affair. She had to ruin the day for me. Thanks alot..Sometimes you wonder why your own mother starts treating you like a stranger. Would there ever be a day we can really put aside out differences. I sincerely doubt so(incidentally HP is back),which could explain her behaviour, but thats simply no excuse.
Or maybe its just me...
