Today was a tough morning. We got a daycare spot pretty out of nowhere and with very little notice so last night I was labeling her things and trying not to be weepy about it. lmao i’m such a soft ass mom now. anyway hooray!
Because tattoos aren't something my mother has ever been interested in, she finds it incredibly weird that I love them so much.
Which leads to an absolutely hilarious situation when I send a photo of a tattoo that isn't JUST a tattoo but one she actively doesn't like. Because she just go SILENT.
It's so fucking funny.
Like, Dad's texting back, "LOL LOVE IT" or hearts or smiling emojis.
Mom's just sitting there doing...something. But definitely not responding to the photo.
Cannot WAIT to see her in person soon because she will do the "Why did you get that?" sounding exasperated but also like she's expecting me to sympathize with her, and I will say "Because it's fantastic!" And she will then try to ask me a second time to justify my choice of my body art on my body to her, and I'll reply, "Because I like it. It's cool if you don't like it."
And that will turn into "Oh, I don't NOT like it!" because she cannot take anything that feels like criticism.
(by the way, the scab is coming off Meranda, and y'all, she is SO BRIGHT.)
My mom’s phone background for the past 5 years has just been me holding up Snoop Dogg’s cookbook. I don’t think she understands who Snoop Dogg is or what the joke of the picture is. I asked her why that’s her wallpaper and she said “you aren’t smiling in the photo”.
might start taking T without explicitly telling my parents. because so far my conversations about it with them have been dead-ends and suggestions to wait 5+ more years and I’m. starting to feel not good.
Do you ever just stare in the mirror.. for a long time, not doing anything. But just looking at yourself. Trying to figure out how you got here. How so much time has gone by so fast. What the hell is gonna happen next. And then the lingering question always sitting in the back of your mind... Will I ever be enough for anyone?
I have proof my mother flat-out lied to me to try and get her way, but it's only verbal proof, which means if I bring it up, she'll claim she said something slightly different and it's that I misremembered, not that she lied.
There are two common responses to regular emotional abuse via gaslighting: you either end up with a shit memory, or you end up with a steel trap memory.
like sooooooo much of my mom's struggle the past few years after the hospital almost killed her by discharging her too early and then stringing her along the last four years being as unhelpful as possible is bc the whole experience has genuinely retraumatized her and made her feel likes a victim who's not being listened to. and yet it never once occurs to her that these other women who come forward abt abuse are telling the truth and are simply being ignored or silenced like she was. my mom's continued belief in the system that failed her needs to be studied like what the fuck is this?
but no it's always these women are lying and these fakers make it harder for real victims to come forward bc no one believes them 😠. my darling mother who birthed me, has it occurred to you that THESE WOMEN ARE THE VICTIMS NOT BEING BELIEVED??????????
