seems the shit finally hit the fan...I'm not sure if you guys had been aware or not, but after about a year and two months of dating him, my mom had never had a clue that I was dating Chris. I think that all changed a few days ago. It was all due to one innocent little comment made by my brother. My mom was talking to him about me, telling him how I'm so naive (I don't know what this conversation was about...) and my brother answers back that I'm smarter than she thinks. That little comment opened her eyes. She began to see that there was something a little off about a few of the things I've said over the past year. Well, she eventually confronted me about it. I, through sheer habit, denied being with Chris. Anyways, I don't it would have mattered whether I acknowledged it or not, she now hates Chris. That all happened Sunday.
Monday, I went to school and warned Chris that maybe he shouldn't call me at my house in the next bit seeing as how my mom doesn't like him. He made me feel better after such a crappy day. Although he noticed rather easily how pale I was when it came time for me to go home. (BTW, my mom had set up a new rule that she wants my schedule and that I'm to be home an hour after all of my classes...no more study seesions!...sure mom, I'll get right on that...) Well, as usual, the busses were being stupid and I believe I got home about an hour and 45 minutes after class ended. Well, she wasn't amused. Nor would she believe me that it wasn't my fault the busses were being stupid. And since she was also pissed from sunday, she finally did the one thing that pissed me off to no end and began this war between us: she demanded that I choose between her and Chris. I didn't choose and just walked off. She took that to mean that I chose Chris. Later she came and found me and told me that he is no longer allowed to call the house and that he is no longer welcome at the house. She accused me of betraying her trust. Before she could go any further I asked her what trust? And I reminded her that she had confessed to me a few years ago that she used to have people spy on me and that I basically hadn't trusted her since. Well, she wasn't too thrilled about that declaration. She walked off swearing revenge or something like that. (yes, she really is as much of a drama queen as I'm portraying her and no, I'm not exaggerating her words)
Today was awkward. Although I now have a newfound respect for my dad. He noticed just how upset I was last night and how nervous I was about spending the day alone with my mom so he stayed home from work to make sure I wasn't alone with her all day. He's such a sweetie. Well, she's been avoiding me like the plague unless it's to yell at me for something (she always does that to us when she's mad at me or my borthers) Then over the course of the day, the most extraordinary news reached my ears. She's going to El Salvador. First it was that she's going in two days. Then it was she's leaving on monday. Then I hear she's not staying for a month like I had previously thought but for two! TWO!!! Wow, you guys don't know how much that made me happy. It gives me two months to calm down, regather my strength and be able to launch a proper attack when she gets back. If things go according to plan, when she gets back, she's gonna find she's unable to control me the way she used to.
So yeah, life is kinda shitty here at home right now but will be much better when she leaves. I'll definatly be able to make Saturday meetings for DnD when she's gone. I think that's about it for now.
