the cold war at home

[limitedgrace]

Day three of my mother not speaking to me. Excellent. It's amazing that I spend almost every week on the road, but she's got to be mad at me the one week I'm actually home

Don't feel guilty.
I promise not to smoke around you.

Aw, man. I'm such a dirty, dirty smoker....
I hope that your mom warms back up to you before you have to leave again.
xx ari

because when you're in a position of honest right, and you make an honest point, that others know to be true as well, but haven't quite accepted that fact for themselves yet...they get offended and angry that it was popped up in front of them while they were trying so hard to put it off...in retaliation(self defense?)they turn it back on you in the form of a guilt trip to assuage their wounded prides and egos... at the expense of someone who cared enough to mention it in the first place.

you feel guilty because you respect your mother...
you feel guilty because you care.

that ironic connundrum.

Neither of you girls smoke around me - you always keep it oustide - so thanks.

And thanks Mike - that helps.
