I realize after a two month absence from my LJ, maybe that title seems a bit ominous, but lately, something occurs to me that I feel is necessary for me to bring up, and it gives me something to write about here.

You know how in Runaway Bride Richard Gere discovers that Julia Roberts changes her entire personality in each of the relationships she is

I don't really know what to say other than that you've done a great job toughing out all this for so long. I hope that things get better for you and your mum in the future. xx

I guess when reading through my post, I do make it sound as though everything is so awful, but it really isn't. I can't think of anything in my life that I would go back and change, because then I'd be a completely different person today. Although it frustrates me to see my mom act that way, she really does seem happy. And her current guy is a much better option for her than some of the people she's had in her life in the past. My mother is just the best example I have of a woman undergoing a personality makeover in the name of all that is love. I guess, in a way, it's good for me. Because I know that I'll never be the kind of person who does that.

Basically, everything I feel but cannot say because Angrish is not a language, anytime I see my friends twist them around to fit their boyfriend's ideals. I do not understand WHY people would sublimate parts of themselves that someone else cannot adjust too. I just...sigh.

I'm sorry about your Mom. It must be aggravating to see this happen all the time. :(

I am glad you will take no nonsense though from anyone. :)

I guess that would be the good thing from being a witness to her behavior, right? I'm on the outside looking in, so I'm more aware of it, and I'll never let myself become that girl. Always a silver lining ;)
