Sweet Mother Night! Sometimes no matter how hard you try you will never be able to change some people's perceptions of you. As most of you kitties know, I have basically spent the last 2 1/2 to 3 years helping my mother with her divorce. (Coaching from the sidelines, pulling the strings, whatever you want to call it, and being her emotional support.) So I have been the one whose had to take a cold hard 'b***h' stand-point when it comes to dealing with my father and all of you know how sick of it I am. Anyway, the only reason I have stayed at home as long as I have was to keep her from completely falling apart and I've had enough. I feel like it is time to live my own life and make my own way. But of course mom doesn't seem to see it that way. A few of you know in detail some of the darker secrets of my past and when my mother finally found out about a few of them she treated me as if I would shatter the moment a puff of wind happened my way. I'm sorry but if she hasn't noticed that I survived just fine for quite a few years before she found out then I think she needs to sit down and think how she's going to handle me. Especially since I'm packing up my stuff and leaving.
Everything was fine and dandy when I kept my plans for moving to myself but the moment I mentioned it to her she threw every wrong thing I've done or had done to me back in my face and tried to force me back into a metaphorical display case. Needless to say that did nothing for my temper. Even now as I'm putting things into boxes she's trying to convince me that this is a bad idea, that I can't do it on my own. And that I'll come back. *sigh* Sorry to say that I will do what I can to make sure I don't come back under her roof. I'm tired of being treated like cracked glass. But I guess that's how most parents feel about their last child leaving.
