My trip away,
Yeah ok it is meant to be nice to get away and well it was, sometimes?
I went with my mum and sister, in fact I went on an over night train after mediation (a 14 hour trip).
Anyway I got there and hadn?t slept in 2 days so I was tired and it was sooooooooooooooooo hot, so you can imagine I have had 2 days no sleep, I had mediation the day before I arrived (I arrived there at 6:30am anyway) and that was stressful and took a lot out of me, I had just been on a 14 hour train trip, and on top of that it was hot and I had a headache.
Anyway so we went to where we were staying as my sister was there (mum picked me up in her car), well instantly it was make your sister breakfast, so I did, it was do this and that and this and it went on and on, to save the peace I did it all (even mum?s washing you guys have no idea how much I did). The WHOLE 2 weeks!!!
Then there were the arguments, I am ALWAYS wrong, even if it is something I know about, and she treats me like an idiot and tells me basic things and I told her a few times I know etc? well she went off and told me I treat her like a fool etc? then this one stage I was explaining something to her about uni and she said I know (she acts like a 2 year old, no they have more sense! Being that I am a child care worker and all!!!) so she went off and said don?t treat me like a fool I am your mother and I am above you etc? etc? well this was well into the 2nd week and I had been screamed at at least once a day! And this was bad, passing cars could hear and all, she just went off! Well I turned to her, and no I didn?t yell but I said ?excuse me, you are not above me, if anything we are equal. Well she kicked me out of the car in 6 lanes of traffic and I had to walk back to where we were staying (a 3 hour walk)?
This kind of thing went on the whole trip! My nice relaxing holiday!
I felt as I did when I was a child again? She even slapped me once!
Well I sat down with her and said that if we are living together I won?t put up with this etc? and then I got the whole what an awful child and person I was and am and that all her friends kids are so much better (yeah mum and I bet THEY don?t have MY history ? history of abuse), it went on and on and on.
And then while I was there I was finishing off an assignment (got an incomplete as I was ill etc?) well would you believe she threw it and my handbag out the window of the car and sped up so I couldn?t get out and get it. So lucky my wallet wasn?t in there, sigh of relief, but I had to start assignment all over again (I did it, handed it in and passed it now, but still).
Having said all that, she will be here in a few days and we are moving in together again, I don?t know how I am going to live with her again, it is partly like going back to childhood, I have to just not put up with it but how!
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
However on the positive side, I went to a concert my sister was in, and to a theme park, did shopping, went to the beach, etc? so SOME of it was fun!
