So of course, I had my weekly call with my mother (who
was just about in masturbatorial glee that she had something new to
report--my brother's father-in-law passed away on Friday). And during the call, she wanted a recap/update of the stalker situation. And of course, she had to open her mouth and let the stupid just tumble out: she agrees with my stalker's assessment that I am domineering.
Ironically,
she kept insisting this, despite me saying that I lack the give-a-fuck
whether anyone agrees with my point of view or not. "But you are you
know... you have those tendencies..." I have absolutely ZERO DOUBT that if I were ever raped, she'd say I deserved it.
Still trying to stifle the urge to fixate on this. The irony is pungent. And well,
at least she's consistent. I mean, I was molested by my own uncle, and
her response (and my grandmother's) was to accuse me of being a slut.
PS:
I was planning on going there for a visit tomorrow/Veterans Day because
I won't be there for Thanksgiving. (Actually plan on visiting with her,
set a timer, go see my sister if she's home as she's recovering from
knee surgery, set a timer, and then go see my brother/do a shiva call
before heading home.)
A shot of bourbon and a hard cider chaser awaits me when I return home tomorrow.
Sometimes 'domineering' is just a simile for strong willed.
ReplyDeleteI like your approach to family visits ! I need a timer!
I am pedantic. Domineering is not the same. She lacks the sophistication to know the difference between confident and strong versus domineering and overbearing. And the fact I don't buy her bullshit doesn't make me domineering either. But her staunch insistence that I am? Yeah, THAT is domineering.
