“DAMMIT, Mom! Lord, I’m so sick and tired of us arguing non-stop. I swear
you are the most negative person I know,… there are times I think you hate
air! I wish, just once, that you could understand how bad I want something
else for my life. But we have had this argument over and over again and I
know it’s never going to matter what I say. We are simply not going to agree.
“I have come to realize a long time ago you are never going to agree to
anything that wasn’t your idea first. With that being said, stop yelling at me
and listen to the words coming out of my mouth. I’m not staying here another
minute, no matter how loudly you object, or how mad you get at me.”
Pulling my favorite clothes out of the closet, I turn around, facing her. “Why
is it so hard for you to fathom that I don’t want to be trapped in this one-horse
town working at the local burger joint for the rest of my life? All of that may
be ok for you, but it’s not for me. Not only that, but shit, I’m sick and tired of
our constant fighting. If I didn’t look so much like you, I would swear I was
switched at birth. For you to be my mother, we have nothing in common.
“I don’t understand why it angers you so badly that I want more? Why can’t
you be happy for me for once? You know, be a normal parent and encourage
me to make the step you were never brave enough to do yourself. This is my
only opportunity to get out of here, and I can’t pass it by because you think
the timing is wrong. If I wait until all the stars line up, I’ll never leave here.
Sometimes I swear you act like a complete stranger to me. What mother
wants her child to settle for less?”
I stomp around this pathetic area I call a bedroom, filling my bag up with
what few items I have worth anything while Mom watches me from the
doorway.
“Hell, Mom, we both know the only reason you have not pushed me out the
door already is because of what little money I do make… I give half to you. I
mean, what future do I have here? We live in bum fucked Egypt, in a beat-up
old trailer with one vehicle. I mean, for god’s sake, we don’t even have cell
phones because neither of us can pay the bill. I’m living a rerun of your life
and I want out.
“Being my mother, you should want me to be more, have more. Instead, all I
am is an extra set of hands and now an added income. I have been out of high
school for almost two years, and every time I mention I want to get a place of
my own, or hell, how about a car? All I get from you is negativity.
