My mom's newest hobby is to leave the doors open. The last week and during a few weeks before early this month, we had frigid, 15°C air outside. And crazy humidity. (I have asthma, humidity cramps my lungs. And I can't stand the cold. I always get sick.)

So she opens the window (or balcony door) in the room she is in, letting in the humid, 15°C air into the flat with the 25°C trapped inside.

She gets a kick out of irking me - making me close the doors behind her (so I won't freeze my ass off while staying indoors) gives her a rush. She tells me so. She smirks at me and taunts me. (Is this really what parents are supposed to do?)

For the last week I had to repress myself, as every time the above mentioned happened, I had pictures showing me pushing her head repeatedly into the wall. Or me breaking her fucking arms with a baseball bat.

No, I never owned a baseball bat and I don't even hit people. Especially my parents... not that m,y mother deserves any kind of respect, but still. In my culture it is not a proper thing to raise your hand against your elders, especially your parents.

But boy... the way she has been acting towards me I wonder when I will finally snap.
