he's only concerned with how the car's running, hows the job and hows the apartment.

my mom is more on the dramatic side. In the worse case scenario she's likely to call for an extended family(grandparents, cousins, aunts and uncles) meeting over something like this. She won't come at me from the "youre going to hell" standpoint but i do worry that she'll go the "why are you doing this to me?!" angle. not looking forward to it.

I do see that nothing that happens could ever be as bad as what you had to go through. That encourages me to be strong(er).
