so far there has been no greater pain than having my mother look at me with disgust to have her strip me of my humanity; of my dignity all because of her own issues all because of her own feelings all because dad’s dead all because sister dear wants to die all because there’s no money all because i have an opinion all because i want a voice i just want for one moment my mother to be proud of me to look at me and be genuinely kind to talk to me with the same respect she expects me to have for her but how can respect be reciprocated in a toxic environment? respect has to be earned. she thinks i have not yet and will not earn that respect maybe she’s right. maybe **** her. i don’t really care anymore
