I'm doing ok despite my mother's defiant attitude. I will be alright. I was very mad at her stupid remarks. But, she is ill too without taking medication or seeing a psychiatrist. I have had such a hard time dealing with her. I can't believe at my age she is still trying to control me. Some things never change. My father is afraid of her. He told me he does not like arguing with her so he just gives into her whims. It is sad.
