Note to Mom

So basically mom’s a little sore with me. I know that she is, even though she claims she isn’t.

Mom had a really hard time when she got married. Dad had chosen to stay with his parents and extended family and mom had a hard time with his mother.

I am terribly sorry for my mom. Whatever my grandma did to my mom, my mom has put that in the past. I however, have to bear the results of my grandmother’s actions everyday even though she has long since passed away.

Basically what I’m trying to say is that what my granny did to my mother was bad, but my mom suffered temporarily from her misgivings. I however, have a lifetime of physical discomfort because of granny’s callousness. Physical ailments that I have been living with and have to live with forever.

So it’s not right for my mother to tell me that I don’t know what suffering means. I don’t think it’s right for anyone to say that for me. Just because a person suffers in silence and doesn’t make a fuss about their suffering, it is not correct to assume that they know nothing of it.

And getting upset at me because I am suffering, doesn’t make sense to me mom. So quit it. And while you are at it, please also stop being upset with me.
