a reconsideration of someone i love : 03/18/2026

"Mother, mother... Mother of me,"

my mom never struck me as the kind of person to be one of "those" parents. she's a little hard on me sometimes, but i understand what it's like to want someone you love to succeed. i always thought all of that was rooted in love, and i still do, but i can't help but question things on occasion.

i love my mom too, i'd be heartless not to really. despite not being related to her through blood, i still see her as my mother.

twice now in my life, she's threatened to take the door from my bedroom. the first time, it seemed like another thing she tells me to get me to do something. but as time went on i realized that's not normal, and it was only a few weeks ago when she threatened me with that same thing again.

and just today she asked if she needed to GPS track my location. it was rhetorical of course. but it still hurt.

i've never even thought my mom would ever even insinuate anything remotely close to any of those things, but i know her well enough to know that she would follow through with any of them if she sees fit.

but, i don't take bullshit from anybody, not even from the people i love. if she ends up stripping me of my privacy, then i'll be walking out the front door and never speaking to her ever again.

goodnight.
