worst daughter ever?

[mimesere]

I have made my mom cry. I did this magically with the following exchange:

mom: "I will break every bone in your face."
me: "If you lay a hand on me in violence, I will stop you."
mom: "What?"
me: "If you touch me with the intent to hit me, I will stop you. I won't hit you, but I'm not letting you hit me. The face pushing thing you did just now? No more of that."

Now she is crying in her room like I called her a bad word. Welcome to my world.

in better news, if I can finagle it, I have a place to live that's...elsewhere.

Jesus Christ. I'm glad you're finding somewhere else to live. And I'm sorry I haven't kept in touch. Gah. Call anytime you need to talk, seriously. I'm so sorry.

The problem was never really finding somewhere else to live but finding someway else to take care of my mom. Unfortunately, it seems like that is...a difficulty without a current solution.

::hugs:: I'm glad you're finding somewhere else to live.

[mimesere.livejournal.com]

*hugs back* It is...sadly more complicated than just finding someplace else to live. I wish it weren't, though.

Oh honey thank goodness!

[clings to you]

You deserve so much better.

[mimesere.livejournal.com]

*snuggle* Sadly, no end in sight yet. I am running into the problem of familial duty. Stupid duty.

[halfacork.livejournal.com]

I just replied to the other post.

Not as eloquently as I wish I could but I replied.

That worried thing? So happening.

[thelionforreal.livejournal.com]

yes, darling, it is definitely time to leave your insane mother's abode.

*nuzzles*

[mimesere.livejournal.com]

*clings* right now, the happy spot in my life is knowing I will have a you in a few weeks.

[thelionforreal.livejournal.com]

so soon. so very, very soon.

(i just won't ever leave, okay.)

*hugs back*

[buddleia.livejournal.com]

Hmmp, good for you. On both counts.

[mimesere.livejournal.com]

*curls up with you*

[ladysorka]

That is definitely better news, god.

[mimesere.livejournal.com]

It is sadly better news that I can't take advantage of. My life, so hard.

[ravurian]

I... I have had similar experiences myself, except there was a knife and. Yes. Well done for standing up for yourself. She's crying because you made her look at what she was doing, I should think.

If you have options, you should take them. You should be proud of the way you handled this.

[mimesere.livejournal.com]

My options are limited in a lot of ways by needing someone here to help and me being the only viable candidate. On the plus side, it's usually not awful. On the minus side, sometimes it is.

At least I think I have made it clear that the physical stuff is just not going to fly.

[annaalamode.livejournal.com]

MOVE THERE NOW. I WILL HELP YOU PACK.

[callmesandy.livejournal.com]

WHAT SHE SAID.

[mimesere.livejournal.com]

*hugs you a lot* I really, really, really wish I could.

[skywardprodigal.livejournal.com]

No.

You're a good person and a good daughter.

If you leave, you'll be fine.

I left and I'm scared, but I'm getting help and I'll be fine. But I stood up for myself and my family carried on like I had done unspeakable evil, but I'm not here for that sort of nonsense.

Neither are you.

Family is supposed to protect and shelter you and give you what you need to survive. Full stop. Mine didn't do that. So I left.

[fox1013.livejournal.com]

I love you.

[coffeeandink.livejournal.com]

::Hugs::

Good! If there's anything I can do to help from here, let me know.

[lattara.livejournal.com]

Good. Go you!

[cidercupcakes.livejournal.com]

MOVING OUT YAY! \o/ *crosses fingers*

And, dude. DUDE. That was so brave and awesome of you. *loves*

[arallara.livejournal.com]

Oh, man. My fingers are crossed and I'm hoping so hard that it works out for you to move into a different place. It sounds like it is beyond time for that, and I'm sending so many good thoughts for you. Hang in there, sweetie.

[sweetvalleyslut.livejournal.com]

Really glad to hear that. Good luck!

[luluminion.livejournal.com]

You are right and strong and supported and hoped for and soon to be safer.

[j-crew-guy.livejournal.com]

OH MY GOD. So much joy at your moving out. *HUGS*

[shrift.livejournal.com]

GET OUT GET OUT GET OUT. Um, please? For us?

[strangemuses.livejournal.com]

Good grief. Time to move. You're not a bad daughter but you certainly are in a bad mother-daughter relationship. You will never be able to fix her but you can take steps to make your own life better.

[cesario.livejournal.com]

Oh, I have had that conversation before. Except without the moving out bit at the end. DO THAT. NOW. DO YOU NEED BOXES, I HAVE BOXES.

[laurashapiro.livejournal.com]

OMG, you're moving out? ::hyperventilates in anticipatory joy::

And no, of course you're not a bad daughter -- much less the worst daughter ever. Abuse is wrong, and she's the one dishing it out. But I know you know that.

Let me know if there's any way I can help you get out of there.

::massive hugs::

[vampyreranger.livejournal.com]

*hugs* You go girl.

[anonymous_sibyl]

Dude! Oh my god, rockstar. Oh, Sheila, honey, what you said and did was awesome and amazing and I am so damn proud of you I could burst.

Screw her. You stood up for yourself and you did it in such an awesome way.

*squishes you with joy*

[mimesere.livejournal.com]

It's sadly not the first time we've had that little fight. It is, however, the first time it's made her cry.

[claire.livejournal.com]

I hope you don't feel guilty, bitch deserves to cry.

[mimesere.livejournal.com]

I find it (bitterly) amusing more than anything else.

[zvi-likes-tv.livejournal.com]

*hugs* I am glad you are leaving CrazyTown.

[mimesere.livejournal.com]

Hopefully soon, just not now. *hugs back*

[celli]

*hugs back*

[minim_calibre]

You're so far from the worst daughter ever.

I hope like hell you can get out soon.

[mimesere.livejournal.com]

My hopes remain up for soon, but it's not going to be soon like *now*, which is sad.
