Last Monday Alison and I flew down to Atlanta to watch the Braves game with my parents. We were inline to get some really awesome Greek food when my mom said something that really hurt me. While talking about getting a student discount or a free soda my mom told the man checking us out that I attend Denver tech. My mother who claims to be so proud of me, who apparently talks to all her church friends about how well I'm doing in school, doesn't even know the name if the college I have been attending the last two years. I corrected her and tried to out it past me but I've had a really hard time with that. Later that afternoon she tried to give me college advice and I'm sorry but if you are not contributing to my college you have no right to tell me what I should and shouldn't take.
When I think back on it I'm hurt to think that my mom doesn't even care enough about my scholastic accomplishments to even learn the name of my college. However she knows the name of every drug my brother has been on and all the drugs he's on now to get him off the illegal type drugs. She knows exactly how much these get clean drugs cost cause she is paying for them. But she still refuses to help pay one dime towards my college
