btw habit and culture
and possibly personality

theres a bit of glee that comes with what she does


you have to think of away to pierce that facade
see if shes ready for it
and just a kinder familial relationship in general

i had to approach my mom about that
it kinda worked
i told her that i can love you but i dont have to like you
id rather like you and not do the usual run from my parents and only be around them becaue of obligation thing
i didn't realize her relationship with her mom was worse and that came out
note
my moms sneaky though and still couches her concern (which are really jabs)
and adapted to the kinder approach
man i need to get back to therapy


its a continual process
is what i'm saying

anyways
its good you are here
people may have different methods in which you can approach her about it
its time
i'm usually direct it makes it easier for me
she may appreciate that

i'd frankly tell her how she makes you feel and what you feel every time you have to talk to her it'll be uncomfortable but it might be worth it

why does family make us so angry?
Feb 10th 2015

Or maybe because we want to associate family with love & comfort.
