// Do I love you? Nah, not today.

Hi Mom,

I think you behaved in an extremely pathetic manner today. So you tell me that I can't stay over at my friend's house. Naturally, I asked why. The only thing you could come up with was that you didn't like it and it was a policy that we couldn't stay over at friends' places unless it was a chalet. Oh, you also threw in about my bad sleeping habits ie. waking up late that will cause my friends' parents to think that I'm a very discpicable person. Not everyone is a morning person like you, Mom. So stop thinking everyone's a bitch like you to judge someone's character on what time she gets up in the morning for Christ's sake.

And you know what's worse? The fact that you once told me that everything that happens for a reason and likewise, one must have a reasonable good explanation for his action, when you don't even practice what you preach. I asked you why I couldn't stay over and you conjure up some bullshit that didn't even make sense, let alone justify your decision. You know, if you had told me that it was because you were scared that (touch wood) my friend's dad/brother would get horny and rape me or something, I'd have accepted it. Just that my friend's dad left the country yesterday and yet you didn't allow me to go so there must be something more than that right? Are you hiding something from me, Mom?

Oh, and guess what, you DID tell me that was the reason a long time ago. So what if I tell my friend about it?Why must you get pissed and scold me for being so stupid for doing that? Has it ever hit you that your reason is so bizzare; that you're the stupid and unreasonable one? And that it made me angry that you can even possibly think that my friends' dads/brothers will act that way. You're a goddamn freak and a rightdown bitch. I can't believe I advised a friend who wanted to run away that her mom probably did stuff because she has reasons and that it was for her daughter's own good, and that if she'd just ask her why, she'd tell her. Now I take back my words because I realise even my own mother won't do it. Fuck.

The reason why you're pathetic? Because you can't even work things out with your own daughter. You have to call your husband who's working his ass off in another country and scream to him on the phone that his daughter's becoming stubborn and defiant and that you're going to have a nervous breakdown because of her. This is the fifth time you've done it and guess what, all of us know you're the one who's whacked and that we'd just have to endure all your moodswings. You don't know that your husband tells us to just control ourselves from fighting with you because you always want to win and we have to keep you happy just before he starts scolding us the way you want him to. Even the man you love knows your flaws but he's helpless in that department to change you because YOU are stubborn and always think you're right.

You know sometimes I really hope that everyone gives up on you and that my dad walks out of the house and we all follow just so we can prove that you can't win all the time. But it's too bad that I love you cause you're my mother. Looks like I'll have to restrain myself from screaming back at you whenever you start picking fights with me and just be satisfied with counting down the years when I can finally do what I want and when whatever you say will mean nothing but trash to me no more.

Sincerely yours,

Your god-forsaken daughter
