I dont think that i learned as many lessons in one day as i did tonight

First I wake up to rush around and drop some study notes off to someone at humber, and because i was rushing my passenger because i was going to be late, the person i delivered the notes to told me I had issues because i was mad he wouldnt get off his *** and come outside to get the notes-uh hello? im the one who drove to etobicoke from brampton, because he didnt have any notes. doing him the favour, and going out of my way....how ungrateful!

second, i have court this morning, beat the stupid cops *** and got my speeding ticket of 69 km in a 40 km school zone dropped. I could see my day brightening at this point.

I declined a job offer that was presented to me yesterday, because I didnt like how the guy dealt with his business and the requests he was making of me after he had hired me were ridiculous-so i declined

went home, made dinner, spaghetti and garlic bread....relaxed with my family, then headed up to bed.

this is where it gets exciting....

so we are laying in bed, talking about the day, and my dogs go nuts.....barking and jumping. I think i hear knocking. so i get out of bed turn on the lights and go downstairs. there is some ranting and raving lunatic woman outside my door banging and screaming....my bf's mother.

i open the door, as he is coming down the stairs....and this is what i hear "come on, lets go, get your *** in the van, you spend every night here, you have classes in the morning, this is disgusting, hurry up....louder screaming at my bf......" the woman never stepped foot in my house. and the screen door never opened, but u could hear her plan as day.

does he leave?

of course he leaves.....

i can hear the people upstairs walking around now, obviously she has woken them up. great, 1st week in a new place, and there is already %#@&#! happening. did i forget to mention this is about 20 to 12 at night?

so he discusses with me how embarassed he is an so on. i understand, i could only imagine if my mother showed up to drag my *** home at the age of 23....

he calls me an hour later, to fill me in on the great ride home. he tells me his mother discusses the fact that she doesnt want to see his schooling go to waste etc, i understand. general parental concerns. she asks him, 'why are your eyes bloodshot?' obviously implying we did drugs, for those of you who know me well, know i dont smoke or do any drugs, and the odd occasional drink.

then she says 'why doesnt she live with her parents?' 'how can anyone woman walk away from her child and she doesnt even know where she is-what does she do? walk the streets?'....

holding my words back from lashing out at the wrong person, i continue to listen

'what does her dad do? sit around and drink all day? does he even work?'....

please keep in mind i have only met this woman a handful of times, ive never been in a conversation with this woman, and he has always kept my past a well hidden secret from his parents, for this very reason. my childhood was poor. how she found out all this information is beyond us, leaving us both stumped.

so he tells me, he told her my landlord came down, and was upset by being woken up by her screaming. her reply 'good'

at this point im about to loose my cool, so i say goodnight to him, and jump online to relieve some stress.

after venting to someone they ask me something.....'what are u going to do about it?'
and at first i had it all planned out, i was going to write her an email. expressing my feelings in a mature way, and maybe giving her a little bit of the real facts about my childhood growing up.

then i thought about it. what is that going to do? how is that going to resolve anything? it would make her impression on me worse. i dont want to impress her, i want to slap her. who is she to judge someone who not only she doesnt know? but someone that makes her son happy? he says he wants to spend the rest of his life with me.

I am fuming and dont know what to do with this. but literally i dont know her. she doesnt know me, and my bf and i dont discuss my past childhood with his parents, and he avoids bringing up me all together to avoid his nosey parents.

what would you do if you were in my shoes???????
