Disagreements with mom
I just want to talk to someone. So today was telling my mom how my gyn doesnt give me baby photos. And she went like "the things that stress you, now u r adding mere photos to things on your head" , went on and on about how i have GD and what are photos, that my child looks like the first so i can look at my first's photos. She dorsnt think they are important. At some point i got irritated and told her people are different, if they aint important to her, they are to me. And when she stresses about things that aint important to me, i dont tell her to stop being upset. I listen.
Come and see. She lost it. Went ahead to tell me she doesnt even tell me 99% of her things because i dont care. (Her interpretation of me saying i dont stop her from venting about things that aint important to me) When i asked her how or when i havent cared, trying to find out what i do to make her feel that way, she blasted me for picking every word, and being too sensitive, that i shouldnt even be questioning her she is my mom. And how she doesnt enjoy my company. That she is too old (58) to remember every word she said. How everyone is afraid of me. Even as she speaks she knows am going to take sth personally. Meanwhile am quiet because i know if i dare say another word! All hell will break loose. She brought up so much from the past, about how they fear to just talk around my son because i will get sensitive if they use inappropriate words infront of my toddler. After a while she kept quiet.
Now am here thinking, wondering if everything she said is true. Wondering who she discusses with about "my hard to get along with character". I dont feel comfortable talking to her anymore. If i say sth that is bothering me, she will blast me. we have had such moments before but i usually get over it until we get another situation and i think, how stupid i was to say anything in the first place. Yet if i keep quiet, she complains too. Am at loss. Am sensitive, she is sensitive, i just dont know how to handle this situation.
