princealfonso asked: I feel the same way about my mom a lot. I mean, she's my mom, she does a lot for me, and I love her, but I can definitely empathize.

My mom’s weird. She does an awful lot for me too, but at the same time, she’s a nagging banshee who’s temper flares up at the slightest of things and she acts like such a bitch for no apparent reason, then yells at me when I reciprocate her attitude. I’m a firm believer in “treat others how you want to be treated,” and, because of this, I’ll be an asshole to you if you’re one to me regardless of your age, rank or the relationship between us. My dear friend Krista [k-j-b here on Tumblr] frequently witnesses the interactions between my mother and myself, and she can attest for any circumstance I relay on my blog.

All of that being said, my mother and I obviously don’t have the greatest relationship. Quite honestly, I can’t stand her 99.99% of the time and I’m pretty sure she realizes this. There’s a lot of unspoken tension between us. It’s sad on both our parts, really, being that she has no one in her life—no real friends due to her hum-drum-glum lifestyle, and only her one brother left in her family besides me—and I just ought to try and get along with her solely for the fact that she’s my mother, but she just pisses me off too much.

I wait with bated breath for the glorious day of my departure from this wretched house.
