Fight with My Mom

Date: 6/7/2021

We were on the way to therapy with Luana and it was on this long road and across a bridge in town. My mom picked me up after school and said I could drive. I started driving but after a little bit, the turn signals stopped working and I started getting a little anxious. Then the engine wasn’t working so i couldn’t pull over properly. For some reason we had pulled over at my uncle Doug’s house. He was having a problem with my cousin’s baby and we were gonna be late for therapy. My mom started getting mad at me for not signaling and not pulling over fast enough, and now she had to find gas from someone, and therapy was really far away so we weren’t gonna make it. I started telling her that it wasn’t my fault and my dad came in and she started screaming over me and I was screaming over her because she wouldn’t let me finish. Then when we stopped I said “listen to me,” and she said “but I’ve been trying to talk, it’s my turn, you can’t just keep talking all the time.” then I said “Do you realise what you’re doing? If I could finish my sentence and get my point in, then I would let you talk.” finally she said “oh, yeah,” but then I started crying and I couldn’t talk so she got annoyed again because I couldn’t say what I was gonna say. later she was pointing to traffic signs because I was trying to explain what happened, but I couldn’t talk very much because I was still crying. She always gets so offended when people talk with a bad tone of voice with her, but doesn’t believe it at all when people say she is, and says “Oh, well, I’m sorry,” but kind of in an offended, flustered way like it’s not really sincere, she just wants to be the good one in the argument.
