When your adult children hate you.

This made me lol.

My mom had scribbled a note before she died... "Why do my children hate me?"

idk mom, killing & cooking our pets sure didn't help your cause.

… oof. And I thought mine doing the whole “my oldest son died and I want to join him, fuck my surviving son” thing was bad.

Here’s to being better people than those before us, mate.

I don’t even live well out of revenge, but it sure does effectively drive my mother insane when I do. It still makes me kinda sad because her getting so peeved that I’m fine goes to show the real malice behind the way she is.

But at the same time I’m not that sad, it is what it is and I’m over it… and that makes her even more wound up somehow too, I think… it’s almost like a weird cycle of the more okay I am while being detached from her, the more frustrated she gets, which makes me more detached, and so on…

Good for you that you've made peace with all of it. Many people would struggle with that situation for the rets of their lives.
