My mother is crazy and I've had eeenough!

[libnnc]

So get a pant load of this..

a little background before I get into the details.

I'm gay. Been with the same wonderful woman for 15 years. Times are tough for us right now. Her 81 year old mother is terminally ill. She lost her sister to cancer 2 years ago. She's been through thyroid cancer treatment herself. Needless to say, we're OVER the "C" word. My incredibly selfish mother has never, NEVER, recognized our relationship. She's never met my SO. Numerous invitations have been extended...none taken. So...

Mom's birthday was Friday. I called her on TUESDAY, talked for over an hour (possibly closer to 2 hours), we discussed her birthday, I said the card's on its way and "...if I don't talk to you on Friday, happy birthday." She said, don't worry about making a fuss. It's just another day, blah, blah...Her schedule is very complicated; mine is too these days. I didn't call her on Friday but I thought since I called Tuesday and we talked (for OVER an HOUR) that I was covered. Done. Not so done apparently.

Get a call from my Aunt this afternoon "warning" me of my mother's discontent that I didn't call her on her birthday Friday. Okay...whatever. I'll call tomorrow when she gets home from church.

11:30pm tonight (SO is fast asleep 'cause she has to get up at 4:30am to go to work at Charlotte Airport to keep airplanes from falling out of the sky)
The phone rings, wakes up SO who answers. IT'S MY MOTHER. Upset 'cause I didn't call her on her birthday.

Needless to say...I. WENT. OFF. I mean nuclear went off. :nuke:

How dare she pull some kind of guilt crap on me. My SO's 81 year old mother is next door LITERALLY DYING AS WE SPEAK (pancreatic cancer) WE WENT THROUGH THIS 2 YEARS AGO WITH MY SO'S SISTER (sister died of pancreatic cancer at age 43), SPOUSAL UNIT DODGED A BULLET EARLIER THIS SUMMER WITH THYROID CANCER AND MY MOTHER HAS A FREAKING MELTDOWN BECAUSE I DIDN'T CALL HER ON HER BIRTHDAY (WHEN I CALLED 3 DAYS BEFORE)????

AND AFTER ALL THE SHIT WE'VE BEEN TROUGH THESE 2-3 YEARS ALONE, SHE'S NEVER WANTED TO BE IN OUR LIVES. FOR THE PAST 15 YEARS WE'VE BEEN TOGETHER, SHE'S NEVER WANTED TO BE IN OUR LIVES. EVER.

WHAT. THE. FUCK.

Mothers in the lounge...please...am I nuts? Am I a bad daughter for crawling up her ass tonight?

CHRIST!

She's probably plotting how she can attempt suicide...:banghead:
