(70,112 posts)9. yeah, the clothes thing
my mom always hated my second hand clothes, and my buzz cut hair.
but ya know, i saved the money that would have gone into impressing other people. and boy am i glad i did.
which, oddly, she would appreciate, but now she is gone.
i had my divorce party on my mom's birthday. told the assembled that my mom was not very impressed w my life, but if she got a look at my divorce settlement, all would be forgiven.
so i do feel posthumously loved.
