#'hey mom i have a problem with how you regularly threw dangerous objects at my face and hit me until i bled to shut me up when i cried'

So Mom continues to send me an unnecessary and exceedingly passive-aggressive card every couple of months. This latest one is of a crying dog saying "It's just me," like I'm supposed to feel guilty for her garbage when my first instinct is to roll my eyes and say, "Jesus Christ," because of course she's trying to guilt trip me into re-starting a relationship with her.

Once again she completely filled both halves of the inside of the card AND the back, and every inch of it is just. PEAK manipulative horseshit. Half the crap she wrote was detailing me info about dead relatives I've never met like I'm supposed to be grievously sad these distant strangers died. The other half was about how she's been watching lots of YouTube videos about estranged families and she's decided that The Latest Reason I don't want to talk to her is because we grew up poor and I resent her for that. Which, wow, yet AGAIN I am FLUMMOXED BY THIS BITCH.

Time and time and time again since 2009 have I told her exactly why I don't want anything to do with her manipulative, abusive, gaslighting ass and STILL she tries to manipulate and gaslight me into letting her abuse me all over again. Like, wow, how truly fucked up beyond relief do you have to be to be confronted with the fact that your only child is reliably forced into hysterical breakdowns every single time she's tried to have a long-distance relationship with you and not realize that the problem is YOU

Bitch. Of course I was embarrassed of being Poor as Hell as a kid. That is THE LEAST PROBLEM I HAVE WITH YOUR PARENTING TACTICS.
