My mom is really upsetting me.
My mom is making me feel bad about my poetry. She doesn't like my serious poems that I spend a lot of time and effort on, she only likes silly, effortless poems. We belong to a site for creative artists (and she is the main contributer) and she leaves comments on my poems that make me feel bad. Last night she left such an insulting comment that I told her I'm taking a break because I don't like feeling bad about my poetry.
The other thing she makes me feel bad about is she wants absolutely no updates from me--good or bad. I'm living on my own and it's like a chore for her to hear from me. But she'll call me when she does want an update, but only for a few minutes and only what she wants to hear. And she'll tell me not to update her, but then she'll message me for updates almost as soon as she says it, or if I go three days without messaging her, she'll freak out and call me wondering why I haven't updated her. But then again, I'll start telling her about my day and she tries to hurry me up so she can get off the phone. So there's no winning with her.
I don't know what to do about updating her. I could have the best day in the world and she'll hurry me up to get off the phone. And if it's a bad day, she just says "that's life, get over it". Yet if I go a few days without messaging her, she panics. Or she'll say, "no more updates" then messages me a few hours later. It's frustrating.
