You are one bitter female...

[cah1470]

I try not to be but the last couple of days I do think I bear a close resemblance to the angry black female.  And I don't like it not one bit.  It turns out that I am not back in the fold with mom or Don.  And in mom's case it appears her visit was all about messing with my head and punishing me more for my misconduct.   I don't even want to go into the thing with mom because just thinking about it makes me hurt and angry all over again.  Then of course I have been going through phonegate with Don this week.  He has been very nasty to me on the phone, unnecessarily so and I finally let him have it Wed night.  He apologized in a very subdued voice and I haven't heard from him since.  I have to assume that when respect is required he has a hard time finding things to say to me.  I am being unfair of course but as I said I have been in a real bitchy mood lately.  But on the bright side of things the mood only lasts outside of the house.  I have been doing a lot of cleaning and rearranging and as always fixing up/renovating my house makes me feel good.  I was outside clearing the branches away in the back for Joey.  She was running around and rolling in the grass and Cam was laughing at her and dancing to Michael Jackson.  We came in and had a Ms. Pacman tournament , made some popcorn and watched Harry Potter for the millionith time.  How can I not be happy and grateful in moments like those?

Mind games are apparently a mother's favorite weapon in trying to get their kids to heel; I'm sure you know by now that mine is the master at it.

I hope this doesn't mean your mother is going to try and punish Cameron because she's still mad at you and not come to his b-day stuff because that would be just terrible and it certainly crosses a line, IMHO.

Awww, Joey. Cute little puppy! And I'm glad Cameron got his popcorn and Ms. Pacman, LOL.

I don't think you're bitter. We all have moments when life gets to us. Sounds like the situation with your mom is probably eating you.

I hope things look up. And it sounds like you had a nice time with the kids eating popcorn and watching Harry Potter. Kids make it better it always seems. My lil boy just gave me a big hug and said "I love you mom". Makes the crappy day turn into gold.

i guess this is the point where you have to just stop caring what your mom thinks & realise that your decisions are your own & you are the one who has to live w/ them, not her (does this sound familiar? it should. it's your own words). sometimes it's better to just say "you can be mad at me, but i'm not going to be mad at you." & try to care less about what she thinks.
as for don, i think you did the right thing.
i would say that your decision to have a family weekend at home was an excellent one. perhaps a few more of these are in order. : )
