Learned my lesson

Parents and children is such a peculiar relationship. My mom has helped a lot with me moving into my place but everything has turned out quite crooked. I don’t mean to sound ungrateful. She has a style of doing things that really disturbs me. She does things very quickly and without asking and thinking things through and then there are problems that I end up living with but I can’t complain because she helped me. I just decided to take the lesson learned and next time do everything myself. If she wants to help she can pay but I will do. And if she doesn’t want to help in that way then it’s ok. I’m feeling frustrated and bothered. Then when I told her I was unhappy with our communication she just cut me off and said I’m done. It all seams so small but makes me feel so much frustration. Maybe I should have known what I was getting myself into

I feel for you. Family is the hardest to deal with. The history between each other always seems to play out. I am much better with people that I do not have history with.

Yes, this stuff runs deep...its my fault really. If i had done things myself i would have chosen things that she wouldnt be able to know for me, she really has helped me a lot and tried to make things easier for me

Sounds like she didn't want to hear the "truth" about her actions.Not for u to worry about, since u were just trying to communicate with her and be honest, to have a better relationship with u and her.

I think in time she will understand ur views and will talk with ya.Meantime.. take care of "u"

I sometimes forget that she isn5 really going to change...a lot of anger comes when i try for someone to be something they will not be

in reply to Agara33

Some people don't change BUT sounds like u were just trying to have communication and a relationship with ur mom. We cant always get what we want n deserve in life and some times we just have to make our own path in life solo to be happy.
