The Manipulator
Sometimes I have very dark thoughts about my mother—thoughts no
sane daughter should ever have.
Sometimes, I’m not always sane.
“Addie, you’re being ridiculous,” Mom says through the speaker on my
phone. I glare at it in response, refusing to argue with her. When I have
nothing to say, she sighs loudly. I wrinkle my nose. It blows my mind that
this woman always called Nana dramatic yet can’t see her own flair for the
dramatics.
“Just because your grandparents gave you the house doesn’t mean you
have to actually live in it. It’s old and would be doing everyone in that city a
favor if it were torn down.”
I thump my head against the headrest, rolling my eyes upward and
trying to find patience weaved into the stained roof of my car.
How did I manage to get ketchup up there?
“And just because you don’t like it, doesn’t mean I can’t live in it,” I
retort dryly.
My mother is a bitch. Plain and simple. She’s always had a chip on her
shoulder, and for the life of me, I can’t figure out why.
“You’ll be living an hour from us! That will be incredibly inconvenient
for you to come visit us, won’t it?”
Oh, how will I ever survive?
Pretty sure my gynecologist is an hour away, too, but I still make an
effort to see her once a year. And those visits are far more painful.
“Nope,” I reply, popping the P. I’m over this conversation. My patience
only lasts an entire sixty seconds talking to my mother. After that, I’m
running on fumes and have no desire to put in any more effort to keep the
conversation moving along.
