• but it started with an alright scene is it them or is it me? she makes me feel like a failure. he never listens. she only complains. he tries to help but only makes it worse. the things she says... she never says outright that i'm a failure or a general disappointment. the things she says just.. imply that. she has no confidence in me whatsoever. she doesn't support me. everything i do is criticised. i'm pretty sure the only reason she cares about me at all is because she's worried about what people think of her when they look at me. well... i've got some news for her- the world does NOT revolve around her, her views to the contrary. most of the time i DO know what i'm talking about, thank you very much. i CAN do things right without her telling me exactly how. sometimes there IS a better way to do things than her way. I AM NOT A FAILURE. i am NOT who she thinks i am... and she won't let me be who i really am around her, because i don't want to be criticised, i don't want to be told i'm doing everything wrong by someone who wouldn't know, i'm not going to let her break me entirely. she can try as hard as she wants to, but i will never give completely. so, the question is, was i born okay and somehow i just ended up as a failure to her, or was i always something she hated? that show/movie on tv the other day was totally accurate- probably why she changed the channel so fast. "if you [the character's mom] don't respect me for who i am, how can i respect myself?" "when i grow up, i'm going to respect my kids for who they are. and i'm going to make damn sure they know that."
