> I am completely with you on this one. A week ago I would have told you that my mother merely irritated me, but now it's turned to pure hatred. My parents were on vacation and called to ask me to go check on something in their house. On my mother's nightstand was a copy of "When Our grown kids Disappoint us" Lovely, huh? I'm an only child, so it *had* to be about me. I moved out when I was 20, haven't asked my parents for a penny since, married a man they adore, graduated from college and am doing well in law school. What the hell is there to be disappointed about???
Ouch. I think that book might be worth a conversation. "I noticed a book on your nightstand, with a really interesting title. Wanna tell me about it?"
You're an adult now, and stuff like that needs to be put out in the open. You deserve to know the truth.
