Yes, my mom isn't that way around me that much. She can be more assertive around me. It's after she gets in an argument with my dad is when she behaves that way and it isn't right. It's that anger in her; she wants him to feel bad for her. :\
My dad doesn't seem to want to do much with the family anymore too; which I can tell frustrates my mom.
Thanks for your comments too!
