hi.

My mother thought it would be appropriate to bring up something that is emotionally, mentally and financially exhausting me because I had simply asked her (politely) to turn down her music. It turned into a full blown argument where she gaslighted me and berated me. She wouldn’t listen to what I have to say and completely changed the subject of the argument to fit her victimhood narrative. I can’t see myself talking to her after this. We have arguments a lot but she’d never weaponised something that she knows hurts me.

On rare occasions, do I wish to be in a relationship so I can have cuddling sessions, museum dates and experience unconditional love. However, I feel that’s not in my future so I’ll make peace with that.
