Mom hung up on me.

Mom knows I am going to the Doctor for something, and she's pissed I won't tell her why.

So she hung up on me while on the phone. She hates being told no.

But I do not want to tell her and here is why. She's a bit over bearing on things. What I need is friendly support when I ask for it....What I would get from her would be 1) a million poor babies and come homes and just give up, don't do that, etc and yadda yadda yadda you should do this and not that and come home blah blah blah and 2)telling the whole world about how messed up her daughter is even though its more of a private matter and should be up to me and only me to tell people my issues.

I know that sounds mean to say that but it's true! What I want/need is a "you can do it! Don't let this beat ya! Don't let this get you down! Thata girl!" kinda thing. My friends and those I live with give me that kind of support and encouragement. I feel valued and respected by them and it's a precious feeling. I am blessed in the friend department.

So let her be angry with me. I have to do what I have to do to make it from one day to the next for my own well being and sanity. This is why I live 3000 miles away and WHY I chose to live with others instead of "coming home" when I left my husband. Other people treat me with the respect of other adults. Mom, you seem incapable of that.

That being said and off my chest now, on to better and brighter things. :)
