So, after a v. enjoyable weekend in Stockholm, a v. spectacular fight with Mother.

[elanor]

I'm not saying it's her fault it's like this, but she started giving me crap when I was 12, and I certainly DO know that it hasn't been a positive reinforcement or at all constructive in this matter. Problem is she can't see that, and continues the same way she has been for the past 25 years.

Here's a tip: 25 years, and no good. Time to try a different strategy? Yes?

Argh. Oh, and I'm a little perplexed at how apologetic she was, after. I mean she always is, but this time was special. I may need to EXPLODE WITH THE RAGE more often.

Or not, ahem.
