I don't see my mother as mother because ever since she hit me with a flyswatter and have been so highly critical of me throughout these years I feel like she's just another one of my mental abusers. she is so critical of everything i do; seriously she needs to lighten up. i hate it when people are so strict. in the 21st century and she's still behaving this way. i am not very forgiving because my whole life had been filled with drama and i'm just so tired of all the bull****. so anyone who has something nice to say, post away.
