I got into a fight with my mom a couple days ago and her and I aren't speaking to eachother. Sad part is, it's over something I don't think I need to apologize for. What keeps ringing in the back of my head is exactly what she said when this whole war started. "Never speak to me again." Really mom? Alright, be one of those mothers who goes days, weeks, months without speaking to your daughter.
If an apology is really what you want, then expect a very hollow one. Just so your happy.
Eventually I'll hand over the flag just because it's obvious to me that she just wants to be right.
If I told you exactly why she was mad, all it would do is make her look stupid, which she isn't.
Her problem is that i'm growing up and she cant accept the fact that I don't need her as much as she'd like anymore. I know what's important and what has higher priority in my life. I don't need her to dictate my daily routines. Funny thing is, I've been "on my own" for most of my life already. Now that she has time off work she thinks things are going to be different. Well reality check, I've been doing more than fine without your guidance.
I'm not saying i need her of my life. That would be the last thing I'd like. What I really need is for her to calm down and give me space to grow.
Moms dont understand the growing part, because in their minds you will always be their helpless babies they need to take care of.
ReplyDeleteThey only ease up when you leave the nest, but even then, they still never stop worrying because they love you.
Im 30 and my mom worries when me and my sister go out drinking together..lol.
Your mom is just angry, she'll get over it.
Don't worry to much...your post is really mature by the way :).
