I can get so frustrated and angry trying to deal with my mom. I know I'm not living up to her desires (those she claims aren't expectations.) I can deal (even happily) with her when I am in a good mood, but if get in a bad mood, that seems to be unacceptable. She says she loves me regardless, and maybe that's even true, but she is not accepting of me if i'm not acting in a way she considers reasonable. I hate my mother's constant disapproval of me. If you don't like what I'm doing say it. Fine! But quit pushing the same damn point over and over again if I reject your advice. I'm an adult, not a child anymore, and it my right to ignore or take any advice I want to. I'll stop ranting now. Sorry to bother you.
