WTF/Sad
My school has a syllabus for each class, that are supposed to be read, signed, and accepted by students and parents.
When your parents can't sign it, they can send an email.
I don't think my mom has ever read a single one in her entire life, but today she actually told my sister to write the email to the teacher pretending to be her. Sister was awkard about it, I told my mom that she should write it and she got angry at my sister.
I got irrationally angry and left to my room, and I actually feel horrible about myself right now because I was too angry. Nobody saw me, but I still really shouldn't be this stupid.
My mom went to talk to my sister, and they argued a bit. Now my mom says that my sister really is only angry at her because she only allowed my sister to eat half a desert, and came in to give me a short lecture.
The email didn't even have to be that long, literally one sentence with greeting and closing would've been enough.
This isn't even an extraordinary accident. I've heard an argument between my parents about the quality of our bedsheets turn into "I GAVE YOU THE BEST YEARS OF MY LIFE AND YOU GIVE ME NOTHING WE SHOULD GET A DIVORCE". I really hate it when small things blow over like this, but this time I feel especially bad about it because I contributed to it.
This is actually a really small sad. I just wanted to blow off some steam. A bunch of stuff that is much worse and more worthy of being posted here has happened within this week, but I don't want to talk about it right now, especially because the majority of the stuff doesn't involve me as directly.
It'd help a lot if your parents didn't use anger and blame as a substitute for 'I may not be able to do this well :/'. I hope there's anyway you can help them via school services and such.
Though, maybe it may also be in how you addressed her and stuff--those ways we communicate, while different from our perspective, may be taken in a whole other interpretation by those who hear our words. Best thing to do is to ensure we grow and learn, because we can control ourselves. .-.
*still hugs*
Related sad: A friend PM'd me and inquired if he should stop PMing me in the future because of my wording--I specifically recall that we've been over this before and I offered a ton of advice to how to go around with communication. It's a sad on my part because it leaves me with the impression that nothing I said makes sense and...
This, when combined with my low self-esteem, sets me in a hole for days.
