I love that this place is anonymous. time to vent to strangers

and possibly block some people bc they’re gonna be mean

Hi friends, its me again. Its been a while I think but I am back.

I fought my mom… Again. The first time it happened was 2022 in August, then in April 2023 this year, and now December.

Each time, the theme is the same. The way she speaks to me. I tell her she cant speak to me that way and it leads to a fight.

background info: I have a studio apartment alone in socal and im in grad school. My mom is single with my 11 year old brother living with her brothers (she absolutely hates it) as she can’t live on her own.

After these fights i’ve distanced myself significantly and she apologizes and we make a relationship work most because of my brother.

After my mom was kicked out of her home in April I decided that I wanted to create a better relationship with her so that I could ultimately be the guardian for my brother. Things have gone pretty well. Until this weekend

I think ive come to the conclusion she’s jealous of me as all three fights were correlated to something I was doing that she couldn’t yet do.

I am at a fucking loss. 1 think I need to manage is my drinking. I don’t drink often but I notice I get unintentionally drunk 😕
