Dealing with mommy dearest
Another long and strange day. I actually spent some time talking to my mother on the phone, even though my psychiatrist is against it. I felt like I needed to vent on someone and she said that if she were to vote she would vote for Bush. I don't know if it was just to get under my skin or if she really meant it, but thank goodness she doesn't actually vote. Her one big reason for keeping Bush is that we should keep Bush so he can clean up his own mess. She also still believes that they will find WMD in Iraq. I guess it was nice to just yell at her and tell her that she was wrong, and that most of what she was saying didn't make any sense.
I think that she still hasn't figured out that I don't enjoy talking to her and that I don't actively think about her at all anymore. It's almost like I don't have a mother anymore. She has just screwed up her life so bad, and done so much to ruin mine that no number of "I'm sorry" s can make it better anymore. I just try to avoid her as much as possible but you can't help it sometimes.
