Have you ever seen people get stuck in mud-flats, when the tide goes out?
Thick, sticky mud, waist-deep in spots, that sucks you in.
The harder you try to extricate yourself, the more stuck you become.
That is what my mother is like, with me
....only, imagine the mud pestering you to wade into it in the first place,
and then yelling at you to get out, while it sucks you in still deeper....
I am trying my best to get out.
I wouldn't even hesitate to cut my mother out of my life, if I knew it wouldn't hurt her, or my dad.
Even though she has hurt me, I don't really want to hurt her....I just want to be away from her, and her madness.
Sadly, my grandmother and aunt pick on my mom, as does my sister...
but even though I have defended her to them,
she sides with her abusers
...and when I am gone,
My mother will be the second-to-bottom rung....and my dad on the very bottom.
Like I also said, her problem isn't MALICE....it's profound foolishness, paired with profound stubborness. A bad combination.
But to answer your question, Isocrato, yes, I am trying very very hard to get away.
