Just had the worst conversation with my mother, silly me always hoping to reconcile.
Mum: Oh finally you bothered to talk to me.
Me: Well it will help if you pick up your phone.
Mum: I know you never want to talk to me so why bother.
Me: Mum, I don't want to fight. I called to see if you're alright.
I've been trying to call her since 6 months ago, stopped for a few months because she didn't pick up the phone, started calling her all last month, but she never wants to speak to other people in general so doesn't pick up her phone ever.
Mum: So do you still see Xinner?
Me: No, she moved to Brisbane.
Mum: Oh good.
Me: Why..?
Mum: She's a bad person I don't want you hanging around her.
Me: She's not a bad person...
Mum: She's a slut, always with a different man every week.
Me: Oh my god mum. That's not any of your concern anyway.
Mum: It's my concern if she's hanging around with my daughter.
Me: I was sleeping around for 2 years I guess I'm a slut too.
Mum: Yeah you were. But you're not now right?
Me: ........ anyway....
Mum: You don't care what I have to say.
Me: I don't know maybe I just don't like irrational down-talking that much.
Me: Whether you believe it or not I have a brain that thinks for itself. Evidently, as I don't have some irrational hatred towards women.
Mum: I don't hate women. Just a lot of them are terrible. Who do you think men cheat with? Women. Women who know they have a wife. One pretended to be my friend while she was sleeping with your dad. Remember?
Me: Mum that was 20 years ago...
Mum: He's just a terrible man.
Me. Ok mum, I called to see if you're ok.
Mum: Yes, thanks for caring.
I just don't know how to deal with her. Trying to be understanding but at the same time she makes things so difficult. Yet I still keep trying to call because... well she's my mother as much as I can't stand her attitude.
Ended up opening that bottle of vodka. lol
