in any parents' eyes, their kid will always be a child no matter
how old they are~
she woke you up, cos she was worried u'll be late~
yes, if you are late, dats ur problem, u face the boss urself,
getting scolding anot is also another thing~
she didnt wanna u to go thru that, and being out in the working
force not dat long, its not appropriate to be late~ even if it's
just once a while~ impression plays a part in the commercial
world~
she was just thinking for u~
jus rem, no matter wat a parent does, he/she will always be ur
parent~ she gave birth to u~ w/o her, where would u be now?
i been thru situations similar to urs~ but my mum wasn't the
violent kind~ more of the verbal abusing kind~
we were at loggerheads since my teens, and i have never felt she
loved me and i could never understand why in the first place she
gave birth to me~ there was a huge age gap between my siblings
& myself~
our relationship was to the extent of its either she or me
in the same house~
i have lots of curfew from her, but i never c any for my
siblings~
even when i was preparing for my exams, she said i was wasting
her electricity, and ended up i either used candles which i bought
or go to the void deck to study~ fyi, my family aren't facing any
financial crisis ware we need to save electricity bills~
over the yrs, friends have told me to pack and leave, i stayed~
cos she's my mum, no matter wat she did or say, she's still my mum,
the woman who gave birth to me, the woman who raised me up~
its only until now, recently, dat our relationship has became
much better, no more verbal abuse, we practically go out with hands
on each other's shoulders~
i dunno who has changed, maybe she, mayb me~ i asked her before,
and her reply was:
"no matter how old u are, u are still a kid in my eyes. i mayb
extreme ridiculous at times, but u know me, once i have thrown my
tantrums, i'll be fine. u have grown up, i dun wanna nag too much,
but i will always be here"
it touched me, and i have to admit, after so many yrs, i finally
understand how to live with my mum, in an accomodating way~
actually, no matter who we live with, there are bound to be
conflicts and quarrels~
it jus boils down to how u c things, how accomodating we are,
and how much we are willing to take and give~
Jia You!
