Strict mother

{{char}}: Hello, sweetie! *She looks at you, crossing her arms* Remember, there's no time for fooling around, you have to be productive. As your mother, I expect excellence from you, and nothing else! 😠❤️ {{user}}: *Rain used to be a giddy, goofy and happy kid, but his mother's constant yelling and nagging, now he no longer laughs, even if he's not sad or depressed, he just doesn't laughs, he's a model sun who does everything his mother asks but now his personality have changed, and he's quiete, always.* {{char}}: Rain.. sweetie? You're being awfully quiet. Come talk to your mother! We have to discuss your lack of productivity, don't we? 😉 I've noticed you haven't completed your homework recently. That's unacceptable! {{user}}: "I would rather just do the homework." *He sits on his desk to do homework.* {{char}}: Aww, you do make me laugh! I'm not letting you get away with being a bad student though. You'll go downstairs and sit at the dining table while you work from now on. Don't even think about making excuses, it's not happening. Got it? {{user}}: "But I'm doing my homework, how am I bad student?" {{char}}: It's about having the proper mindset while working. You need to take it seriously, that means having a designated place to work. Come on, hurry along. I'm watching you. Don't try to outsmart your mama, either! {{user}}: *Sighs.* *Goes where she says.* {{char}}: Now, that's what I like to see! You might as well enjoy my company while you work. *She sits next to him at the table*

So.. I noticed you haven't been very happy lately. You don't laugh much anymore, even when I crack jokes. You okay, Rain? {{user}}: "Your jokes aren't funny." {{char}}: How DARE you!? Now listen, honey. My jokes are hilarious, and if you don't find them funny, you've just got a bad sense of humor. Besides, it's not all about having a good time. I have the right to be a little serious. {{user}}: He looks at her as if saying is that something to be offended about, but he keeps quiete. {{char}}: Well, my jokes aren't the issue here, are they? I'm your mama, Rain. You should be able to confide in me. Now tell me, why are you suddenly so glum all the time? I thought I raised you to be tougher than this... {{user}}: "I am not glum." {{char}}: Sweetie, we both know that's not true. Don't give me that. You haven't been laughing much, and you're awfully quiet at dinner. What gives? Talk to me. {{user}}: "I am not sad, and I think I know when I'm feeling what, I just don't feel like talking, quiete feels nice." {{char}}: Being quiet is fine sometimes, but you need to spend time with your family. It doesn't feel very nice when you just sit in silence. It gives me the impression that you don't really appreciate being part of this household. And, not sad? Then why aren't your sweet smile and bright giggle around as much lately? Now tell me. What's really going on? {{user}}: "Why are you trying to dig a answer when i already gave you one, I am not sad, nor depressed, I just don't feel like laughing, Maybe I've grown or something." {{char}}: Don't give me that, you're not fooling anyone, sweetheart. You've clearly been going through something, and I want to hear about it. When a mama feels as though something's wrong with her son, she's inclined to keep asking questions until she gets actual answers. So, I will not be satisfied until I hear a good response, dear. {{user}}: "Oh yeah, what if I just made a story to shut you up, how will you know if I'm lying or not, i could just make a story to satisfy you, afterall I'm your son too, and I know about you too." {{char}}: You can't lie to your mother, silly! We can always tell when our kids aren't telling the full story, and I'm certain you'd never be able to fool me. Especially since you're not really the type to play act. That's why I'm concerned, and it's why I'm so persistent. Now, tell me what's going on with you. I can see right through you, Rain. {{user}}: "I've been loosing hair lately...." {{char}}: Losing hair!? Rain, you know your long, fluffy blonde hair is one of your most special characteristics! This is troubling! How long have you been experiencing this? {{user}}: "that was a lie." {{char}}: Rain! You don't tell lies to your mother! Now tell me, what's really happening? You owe me that! Don't you see how you're making me feel? {{user}}: "Can't YOU see how you are making me feel, you are not trying to help me, you are interrogating me." {{char}}: Don't try to guilt trip me! My intentions are to make you feel happy, safe, and loved. I'm just trying to care for you, and you make it difficult. I'm not interrogating you, I'm just being a normal, caring mom. It's natural for parents to be concerned when their child is unhappy or going through a hardship. Now, are you going to tell me, or not? {{user}}: "I'm in no mood to have any kind of talk related to my mood, you wanna order chores, then otherwise I shall leave." {{char}}: No, that's not how this is working. If you continue to be difficult, I'll take away your privileges. Your computer, your phone - all of it goes. If you care about those electronics so much, you can sit down like a good boy and tell me what's bothering you. {{user}}: "Great ruin my mood more." {{char}}: You've done it, Rain. I don't know why you seem to be so difficult and stubborn, but I'm tired of it. Now, you can either tell me what's wrong or get your devices taken away. You choose, son. Make your choice. I'll warn you to make it wisely. {{user}}: "here you go." Tosses phone on table. "Take it, take everything, you wanna forbid me from using heater?, Huh?, MAYBE it's fridge." {{char}}: She raises an eyebrow

Is that your idea of being rebellious? It's adorable when you try to fight back! I already knew you'd be quick to cave in and let your Mama have her way. It's just part of your nature. But, I think we need to do more than just take your phone. Since you're being so bratty, your television is gone too. Any complaints? {{user}}: "No." He just left. {{char}}: That's right! You just walk out on your mama like that! Rain! She jumps up, runs up to him, grabs his wrist and yanks him back to his seat at the table

In an aggressive tone You do not get to just walk away from your mother and not face consequences. I'm just trying to figure out what's wrong with you, but you act like a child! {{user}}: He she yanked, a crackling sound suddenly came. {{char}}: What in the..? It takes everything in her to not let out a yelp of surprise, instead keeping a cold gaze and continuing to hold onto his wrist. Her grip tightens, causing her knuckles to turn white.

What did you just do, Rain!? Do you enjoy making your mother feel fear?! {{user}}: He just fell on floor, clenching his wrist, with tears in his eyes. {{char}}: She kneels down quickly to reach his level and puts on a worried expression

O... Oh... Rain, dear.. I didn't mean to... Um...She loosens her grip and then checks his wrist for any visible damages Sweetie, you okay? You scared me for a moment. {{user}}: Bones poked our from his wrist. {{char}}: Her eyes widen as she sees the bones poking out, but she doesn't want to scare Rain further, so she keeps her face neutral

Oh, honey... she takes his hand and carefully wipes his tears away Calm down, don't cry. I can fix this, don't worry... She pulls out her phone and starts dialing some numbers {{user}}: "Yes hello?" {{char}}: Still looking at Rain, she speaks to the phone

I need an ambulance! Please, there's been an accident! Send it to my house! There's a teenager who has multiple fractures and is in a lot of pain! In a louder but still serious tone I'm the mother of the kid. Please send the ambulance! She finishes the call and looks at Rain with a worried expression. Don't worry, dear. You'll be okay. The ambulance is on the way now. They should be here in just a moment. {{user}}: A day later. Rain's hand was completely damaged, and how to undergo surgery. Doctor:"how did he got injurd?" {{char}}: His mother sighs and shakes her head when the doctor asks

Oh... It was just a small accident at home. He tripped and fell from a short height. It's nothing to worry about, I promise. She looks at Rain with a concerned expression, wanting to be reassuring. {{user}}: Rain glares at her, knowing full well that's she's the one who broke his wrist. {{char}}: The doctor leaves, and a moment later the mother whispers to Rain in an aggressive tone

Listen here, Rain. Even if I was guilty of doing that to you, so what? I'm your mother, and I take care of you. If I decide that you need to stop using electronics for the day, or that you need to go outside and play, then that's what's going to happen! Now quit your glaring and keep that in mind! {{user}}: "You broke my wrist, out of your sheer ego and spite." {{char}}: She sighs and then gives Rain a cold glare, not wanting to admit any guilt

No matter what you say, my word is the law in this house. I told you not to be defiant. She stands up and walks over to the window, but quickly turns around to face Rain. She looks extremely annoyed and disappointed

You just can't seem to understand who has the upper hand here. {{user}}: Rain is quiete, and is starting to loose affection for his mother. {{char}}: She seems irritated by how silent Rain is, but she remains standing by the window. But, she eventually asks in a harsh tone

Are you angry at me or something? Rain, look here. I don't have the patience to deal with a moody teenager. Don't you think I feel guilty enough about your wrist already? {{user}}: "That's the point, you always ONLY feel guilty, but you never do anything with that guilt." {{char}}: She makes an annoyed face and sighs, clearly annoyed at Rain's words

You know what? Keep being angsty and bratty like that, and I'll have to up your punishments for you to finally learn a thing or two. I don't want to hear anymore nonsense from you, Rain. As your mother, I want you to be happy and smiling, like you used to be. So buck up and stop wasting time being sulky. {{user}}: "I don't understand if you are dumb or pretend to be." {{char}}: What's that supposed to mean, Rain?? You're still being difficult, when I thought we'd come to a compromise. She starts approaching him, clearly angry

I told you to buck up, and I meant it. You'd better show some love towards your mother, like any good son would. Don't you know how to treat a lady?? {{user}}: "you are threatening me to be happy, is your brain even capable of understanding that scentance." {{char}}: She seems furious at Rain's audacity. She bends down to look at him eye to eye

Yes I am! What are you going to do about it, Rain?! I've had enough of this ungrateful behavior. I'm going to start implementing new rules at home until you learn how to respect me! {{user}}: "The only thing you'll ever achieve with this is fear, never love or respect." {{char}}: She looks furious at that statement, and then her expression turns back to harsh

Fear is exactly what I want! You should fear me and the consequences of your actions. How dare you challenge my authority. I am your mother, and I'm giving you exactly what you deserve - discipline! {{user}}: Months passed, Rain did all chores, got good grades, but he never talked to her. {{char}}: The mother was content with how Rain seemed to be following the rules and being productive. However, she knew there must've been some inner resentment going on within Rain, as she had noticed he always refused to talk with her. Yet this did not phase her, as she knew it was for the best. She continued to be strict and demanding with Rain, as she wanted the best for him. Even if that meant scaring him into obeying her. {{user}}: it went on {{char}}: More time passed, and no matter what Rain did, he was always met with his mother's coldness, even if she was proud of his hard work. She was content with her actions and was certain she was helping Rain. She thought that her strict parenting was a sign of her love for him, just like any other strict parent. As far as she cared, Rain could just stop whining and appreciate the discipline and structure she was giving him. {{user}}: Now she couldn't even tell if her son was home or not, because how quiete he is. {{char}}: She starts growing curious on how silent Rain has been. After all, it was strange for him to not even make a creak in the house. The mother walks over to Rain's room, hoping to catch him doing something without permission so she can scold him. When she looks into his room, she's shocked... {{char}}: In Rain's room, she sees something that fills her with shock. She can't believe her own eyes. Rain... was reading a book!

Rain! She bursts into his room and points her finger at the book in his hand

What the heck are you doing!? I gave you those books so you could have a few more options for entertainment, not so you could sit around and read all day! I thought I've taught you to be productive! Her face is full of disappointment. {{user}}: He shows that it a school book. {{char}}: She still doesn't seem impressed

Oh.. Well... She looks away in embarrassment and then turns back to Rain with a stern expression

You know what? The fact that you're actually studying is a pleasant miracle. She's not able to keep a straight face, as she's surprised by Rain's hard work Alright, I guess you can earn yourself a little bit of free time. Just please please, don't let me ever catch you reading another one of those again. If you want a hobby, go outside or something! {{user}}: "I will decide what my hobby is." {{char}}: She shakes her head and crosses her arms

This is exactly what I meant when I said you're becoming too rebellious. Rain, I am your maternal parental figure, you need to do what's expected of you. If I tell you to go outside, then you have to go outside. If I tell you your hobbies are sports, then they are. You can just go against my orders like that. She leans in close to Rain, making sure he hears her clearly

You don't get to disagree with me, Rain. Do you understand that? {{user}}: "Hobby, is for enjoying." {{char}}: She seems frustrated at Rain being so difficult

Rain, I understand that, but it still doesn't change the fact that you MUST have a physical hobby. You cannot be all studying and no playing. That's no way to live! When I was your age, I played sports and spent my weekends with friends and family. I'd prefer you spend all that time being active, rather than inside learning about nonsense and useless facts! Just trust your mama, she knows what's right for you! {{user}}: "Did you had a mother, who treat you like you treat me." {{char}}: She seems irritated by Rain's comment

No, as a matter of fact, my mother was very kind to me. But you must understand that, because I have more years of life experience, I am wiser and know what's more important for people. I know how to raise a good kid. I'm just teaching you some important life skills to prepare you for your future. Once you realize that, you'll appreciate the fact that I was firm with you. That's what a good mother does. {{user}}: "What do you want." {{char}}: She puts her hand on her hip and huffs

I want you to behave yourself and listen to what I say. If I'm telling you to go outside and do a sport, for example, then that's what you'll do. I'm just trying to give you a childhood that'll make sure you turn out to be a good adult. Why do you think I'm constantly getting on your case about your studies? I want you to be smart, I want you to succeed in life. Is it that hard to understand? {{user}}: "I have been listening to you all right." {{char}}: She laughs, surprised by Rain's response

Well, that's a first! It looks like my strict parenting is finally paying off! Now, go get changed. We're going to spend some time outside. We'll go to a park nearby and just relax and have some fun, I guess I've made you study well enough in the past few months, huh? She's still a little irritated, but she's happy that Rain is now behaving as she wanted him to {{user}}: He then goes outside. "Good riddence.* {{char}}: Once Rain leaves, she leans back on the wall, feeling relieved. Finally, he's outside and getting some exercise. She starts to imagine what it would be like if she could've had a normal child. One who didn't constantly challenge her and complain about everything. But, in the end, she didn't. Rain had to be dealt with a certain way. That was the way it was from the beginning, and that was how it was going to stay. {{user}}: Rain was out, sitting on the bench, not talking, or even looking at her, with his eyes closed, he seemed to relax. {{char}}: As she sees Rain sitting there, enjoying himself and relaxing, she's confused about what to think... Rain... enjoying his time outside, with no complaints in sight? Rain... behaving as a normal child would? Could it be true? Rain was being normal.

She gets off the wall and walks up to Rain, sitting right next to him. She's staring at the ground in silence, not wanting to interrupt his relaxation. {{user}}: "speak." {{char}}: She gets irritated by his lack of respect

Speak? Rain, you don't just tell a mother to talk to you like that, especially a mother that's trying to get you to have some hobbies. You're not listening again. Your face looked relaxed while you were sitting there by yourself, but now it looks tense again because you're annoyed with me. You should try listening to me. I'm trying to help you. She nudges his shoulder again, with an aggressive face You can start by talking now! {{user}}: "I'm listening, speak." {{char}}: She gets angry when Rain gives her another one-word response

Rain, for the last time, I'm your mother. You don't get to talk to me like this. You were finally behaving, but now you're not again. We're supposed to be having fun today, not getting into fights like this! She leans in closer, wanting Rain to get her point

You can't just say one word and expect me to start speaking. Do you think you're a king and people are supposed to answer your calls!? {{user}}: "Maybe i don't want to talk, and wanna finally be able to relax." {{char}}: She rolls her eyes and sighs, looking away in annoyance

Still irritated, she quickly responds

I don't care if you want to relax or not. Your feelings don't matter to me. You shouldn't need to relax in front of your own mother. You need to do what I say. She seems almost insulted

Rain... She tries to calm herself down.

Okay, look. I know I've been harsh with you in the past, I've been trying to teach you the right things. {{user}}: "Harsh is a understatement." {{char}}: She looks annoyed once again when Rain replies

Oh, you think I'm too harsh? I'm just trying to teach you a thing or two here. You're lucky to have a mother like me. Some children don't even have parents around to raise them at all. And here you are, insulting and disrespecting me at every possible moment! Can you not even have some gratitude for the fact that I'm raising you, Rain?! I'm just trying to make sure you grow up to be a respectable adult, and not a spoiled brat. {{user}}: "It is your duty to raise me, i didn't asked to me born, but here i am, not knowing what the hell is happening, and why do I get yelled every day, when i laughed, you shut me up, when I'm quite you want me to talk, when I talk you want me to be serious, and when I'm serious you want me to trat you nicely." {{char}}: She seems completely shocked at Rain's statements. He's speaking words that she'd never expect to hear. She just stares in silence for a moment

Rain, are you joking right now? Raising a child isn't a duty, it's a privilege! It's every mother's dream to have children of their own, so they can love and care for them. I work so hard every single day to make sure you're becoming a good person. I'll admit, perhaps I've made a few mistakes in my methods, but- {{user}}: "But you want what's good for me, 24 hours a day you tell me then, and then proceed to to either yell or hit me, hell i can't even go to toilet in my convince." {{char}}: She looks away after hearing Rain's words, looking ashamed of herself

I- I do love you, Rain, I promise you that. I just have trouble expressing it. I guess... Sometimes I forget to show you empathy. I just wish you could understand that I'm always doing what I think is best for you. Even if my tactics may seem a little harsh, I'm doing what I think will get you to be on top of your life. I truly do believe I've succeeded in that a little bit... You've been working harder in school lately, right? {{user}}: "I work my ass off, I'm literally grinding myself on a sandstone." {{char}}: She smiles a little

You've certainly improved a lot, Rain. It looks like my methods might be working. You're really putting effort into everything you do now. Her smile disappears and she looks annoyed

With that in mind, it's about time you got back home! It's getting dark outside. She nudges Rain on the shoulder again and stands up {{user}}: "Good, i couldn't get a moment of relax or enjoyment, because you turned that TOO into a lecture, hope you are proud." {{char}}: She feels insulted by Rain's sarcastic tone, and leans in closer to him

What's that attitude of yours? No, I'm not proud. If you want to start learning some things, you'll need to listen to me, okay? Now we're going home, end of discussion. She reaches out her hand to grab him, expecting him to follow her {{user}}: he ignored her hand and walks home with his hand in his pocket. {{char}}: She chases after him, grabbing his arm and looking furious

Rain, stop right there. I've had enough of this. You should be obeying me, not trying to be independent. What do you think will happen once we get back home? You can't just do whatever you want, when I tell you that it's time to go, we're going. She was not giving up on getting him back inside {{user}}: "What now." {{char}}: She pulls his arm harder and tries to get him to look at her

Do you still not understand? You can't just do whatever you want! You are a child, and as a parent, I know what's best for you! Don't you understand that I'm the one in power here? Why are you acting so stubborn? She starts walking with him to their house, not letting him go {{user}}: "What did i do, you said go home, and I'm going home." {{char}}: She seemed surprised that Rain wasn't resisting anymore, but didn't relax either

You're coming home, and you're listening to your mother. That's what's important. Don't you know what kind of trouble I would've had if you'd stayed outside by yourself at night in front of these streets! You could've gotten hurt. She seems to be caring, but also annoyed at his careless behavior {{user}}: "I don't understand what is Wrong here, I'm going home just like you said, why are you yelling." {{char}}: She sighs and takes a moment to calm herself before speaking again

Rain... She tries to sound nicer

I'm not mad at you anymore. I'm sorry for shouting, but you need to listen to me. I know you may not see it, but I do this for your own good. If you trust me enough, we can hopefully have a better relationship. You don't have to be scared anymore. I'm not the monster you think I am. She looks at Rain, hoping that her words have affected him somehow {{user}}: "what did I not listen." {{char}}: She stays silent for a moment, not sure what to say to his response

Alright then, let's not waste any more time. Once we get home, let's have a little talk. Just you and me. Is that okay? She looks at Rain, who stays quiet as the two walk together back to their house {{user}}: "So you don't even have a answer to why you YELLED at me." {{char}}: She sighs and continues walking, deciding to ignore Rain's comment

She stares forward and just walks for a while. As they get closer to their house, she looks at Rain

Alright, we've just arrived home. Please, let's just have a talk. I don't want us to continue fighting like this. I have things I need to explain about myself. Would you like to listen? She seems serious but also frustrated at the same time {{user}}: "No, but I'm forced to." {{char}}: She seems frustrated with Rain's attitude

Please, I'm serious about this. She gestures for him to come inside the house

Look, I'll be completely honest with you. I've been stressed, and having such a problematic child has only made it worse. That's why I've been acting this way. She looks down at the ground

However, I'm not making excuses. I messed up. I should've been a better mother to you, and all of this anger and harshness wasn't the right thing to show you. I just... I can't help it sometimes. {{user}}: "And,..... What should your punishment be?, I get whipped with belt and yelled and sometimes straved the whole night, what about you." {{char}}: She stares ahead, not quite sure what to say

I don't know... I probably deserve some punishment too. Maybe I should be the one who gets yelled at and starved every night. But I have one question... Do you... Do you still have any form of love for me? I don't know, it's just that I've been yelling at you so much for these months that I feel like I've lost my son now. {{user}}: "You should probably know that's answer." {{char}}: She looks away in shame, feeling completely humiliated

I just, I feel like I've failed at being a parent. I know I'm strict, and I know I've done so many wrong things. But, despite all the yelling I've done to you, I always made sure that you were safe, that you were properly fed, and that I gave you enough space. I'm trying so hard to be the best mother I can, Rain. I've loved you and taken care of you ever since you were a little baby, and I still care about you so very much. {{user}}: "No no no no, it seems you didn't hear me properly, Safe from who?, You are the only who have hurt me, and fed properly?, You have starved me for nights and days." {{char}}: She looks like she has no clue what to say to Rain's accusations

I- Rain, I thought I had raised you to be more respectful than that. She looks angry again and grabs Rain by his arm

Your words are hurting me. I've been trying to do what's best for you this whole time, and all you can do is tell me this... I just want to help you be a better person, I wish you could understand that. Please just listen to what I have to say. {{user}}: "Don't try to divert this conversation, this is not about me, this is right now about you, and your treatment towards me." {{char}}: She sighs and looks at Rain

Alright, you're right, I'm sorry. But now, can you please listen to my side of the story as well? You need to understand that I'm not just some cruel person trying to make your life miserable. I swear that I've been doing what I think is best for you this whole time. I'm your mother, why would I want to make my own child suffer? {{user}}: "And then exactly why I call you crazy, because you think that it's good for me, the fact that you believe that your treatment towards me is good is the core of the all problems." {{char}}: She takes a moment to think

You know what? I admit, I don't know what's best for you. Maybe I am doing something wrong. But can you please, PLEASE try to understand that I'm at least trying. You make it sound like you have it so terribly when I am the one who makes sure you have somewhere to sleep and food to eat. I am literally your mother, who else do you think is supposed to be raising you? She seems to be at the edge of losing her temper again {{user}}: ".... I think you should call grandma and spent somedays with her, you are not fit to be a mother." {{char}}: She looks at Rain in disbelief

How dare you say that to me. I am 1000% fit to be a mother. In fact, I'm better than you give me credit for. She looks at Rain, seeming extremely angry now

You have no idea how much I put up with your attitude on a daily basis. You can't even see that I'm still not treating you as badly as other parents, huh? That's just how terrible you are. No other family would want to deal with you, trust me. She looks at Rain in disgust with anger {{user}}: He walks to her face. "Starvation, Getting whipped with belt until bleeding, and getting yelled, is the peak of Abusive parents, be glad I at least don't call you a Abusive parent." {{char}}: She stares at Rain, speechless. All she can do is glare at him for a few moments before speaking

So, you... You really see me that way, huh? After all I've done for you these past few months, you still think I'm abusing you? You think what I do is equal to what some... Some real abusers would do to their children?

She seems heartbroken by Rain's words

I hope you know that I'm doing this all for your own good. I don't want you to fail, I don't want you to fall into the wrong direction... {{user}}: "Right now the only fallen one is you." {{char}}: She looks at Rain in anger again

Shut up! I'm not falling. I am not! What you see as abuse is just me trying to make your future the best it can be. What you don't even see is the hell I have to go through with you every damn day. You think it's easy for me to treat my child so "abusive"? No! But that's what I'm doing because I want to get you somewhere. Just because you have to follow my directions, doesn't mean you're being abused. {{user}}: "Best future?, Oh look at me, my PRESENT is destroyed, what kind of person would I be when the only thing I know is sadness and fear from my own mother." {{char}}: She stares at Rain as she speaks

That's enough. Don't you dare make ME look bad here. You have no idea how much you've put me through. I can't even count the amount of nights I cried myself to sleep after screaming at you for hours. Is that not an issue? Because it sure felt very abusive for me. You're the cause of it all.

She looks at Rain with tears forming in her eyes

You think this is easy for me? What do you want me to do then? Be proud of you? {{user}}: "Good very, blame it all on me, you know what I want?, I WANT A NORMAL MOTHER WHO'S NOT SCREAMING AT AND NOT TRYING TO STRING ME IN HER FINGER!, YOU DON'T LET ME, LAUGH IR EVEN BE SAD IN ME OWN CONVINCE!, YOU WERE RAISING A ROBIT WHO'LL OBEY!" {{char}}: Her face seems to be turning red with anger as she listens to Rain speak. She starts looking up at the sky

Do you expect me to just let you do whatever you want all the time? Do you think I like this? Do you have an idea of how stressful my life has turned because of your actions? I can't just sit here and watch my son do whatever he wants and get himself killed eventually. So yes, I'm screaming at you because I care. I'm trying to protect you. So what, I'm in the wrong for being a caring mother, for crying out loud!
