Do you ever take your stress out on the people you care about the most? I don't know if I'm alone on this one but I definitely do. I don't hate a lot of things but I really hate that about myself. Why in the world would I be mean to someone who has supported me every step of the way throughout my life? Last night, my mom was just trying to have a conversation with me and talk about life in general. Instead of allowing myself to have a conversation with my mom about anything except school, I decided that I would snap at her. About what? Who knows? Does she deserve it? No way! My mom has been a constant source of support over the course of this year and she is also the person that I take out my stress and frustration on. It is not okay! I went to bed last night feeling pretty crummy about my decisions and went through my whole day thinking about how terrible I was to her. And what does she do this afternoon when I see her? She gives me a hug and tells me that she has missed me today. She is an amazing mom and I hope I remember how terrible I felt today. Afterall, the way that I felt today because of the way I treated her was a million times worse than the way that I feel when I am stressed out. I guess I can always read this if I feel like I need to take my frustration out on my mom.
