Am I being unreasonable?

It sucks that my mom doesn’t understand me.

Today she kinda got upset with me because I didn’t want to attend an Easter celebration at my aunts house.

I don’t even try to explain myself to her anymore because she just criticizes anything I say.

It’s like why ask “why” if all you’re gonna do is say I’m being ridiculous when I explain to you why I’m not going?

Sometimes she asks me to hang out with her but when we do, she tends to get angry with me because she’ll decide to put me in situations where I’m not comfortable.

For example: I’ve explained to her over and over again, that going to Costco and In-N-Burger make me feel uneasy and she gets all pouty when I tell her I ain’t going inside.

I know it seems odd but these are places I’ve grown to associate with terrible emotions due to how much my dad used to berate me at these places. He’d often make a scene at these places because he’s such a male Karen (Daren). He’d often cuss me out in public or cuss out some poor employee over the pettiest of reasons.

These places are always crowded too and that just makes things worse.

Then she wonders why I never want to hang out with her anymore.

I guess I have unprocessed memories or something associated with these places. It’s gonna take some time to deal with it.

I actually hate the Spanish language because of how my stupid young brain associated it with negativity and violence.

Have you explained to her that such places bring back traumatic memories to you or can you separate the place from the memories and make better memories with her there? Idk 😳
