I hope everyone had a safe and happy New Year's Eve. I spent it with my family. We went to a party at a friend of my mother's house. All was well until this morning. We had all spent the night and I wanted to get home early this morning, not wanting to waste the day away. My mother knew this, but when I pressed her to get going, she just overreacted which got me angry. When we got home, she accused me of embarrassing her and causing a scene. The ironic thing is that she was the one who flew off the handle and caused the whole misunderstanding. So, despite my numerous apologies and attempts to smooth things over, this day has just been hell, fraught with tension and silent treatments.
Why do I let her get to me like this? Why do I let her upset me so much? She refuses to see that she is half to blame for all this. She prefers to sulk over something that is ridiculous and trivial. So, my New Year's was ruined by a silly little argument. I really wish I had worked today. It would have been a damn sight better than the day I've had.
anger,
mom,
frustration,
new year's
