Mom,

Seriously, when you freak the fuck out at my house, and take any fucking criticism as us saying we don't want you here, don't like you, and I'm taking my son's side against you when you're acting like a petulant teenager, and I say that you should consider mental help, don't freak out all insulted that I'm saying you're unstable. I'm not insulting you. I don't consider being mentally ill to be an insult, and personally it hurt my mentally ill feelings for you to take it that way.

But you do need help. Stable adults don't throw "take my ball and go home" fits in front of their grandkids, over something the grandkid himself did.

The whole thing started because she hugged him too rough and shook him. He asked her not to, and was annoyed, she got all "Okay, I'll Never hug you again" and oddly enough, I thought that was a fucked up thing to say to a kid, no matter what the context. Apparently she thought he was annoyed about the hugging in general, not how she hugged him. Whatever, but she's not crazy.

No no no no not crazy at all. It's the rest of you!

Then she calls to apologize, and says things like "I just lost it, I don't know why I act like that, I say things I don't mean, I just get so dperessed" but yeah, mom, that's not anything like crazy. And I wouldn't know crazy. I'm just picking on you.

Oh, gods. Moms. =/ Was she like that when you were little, with the extreme-taking mood?

"... and personally it hurt my mentally ill feelings for you to take it that way."

LOL -- I can so relate to this! I hope things are going better.

By the way, I have friended you tonight. We "talked" a while back, but I never friended you. So, I finally got it done tonight. My most recent posts are rather drama-filled, but my journal is not usually like that. One of the reasons I am reaching out for more friends is due to wanting to change the drama. I am letting go of a lot, so I need to fill the holes with new.

I was wondering if you would please friend me back? Thank you for considering this.

ps -- if you are freaking and do not remember who I am, this is Linda, the one who facilitated the Tea and Talk for a while.

of course I remember you.

Well, I thought you would remember me, but possibly not my user name. LJ is as bad as "pagan land" with trying to figure out who is who by what names they use! Or, at least I experience it that way.
