Expectations vs. Reality

Ranting/Venting

Hello, it's me again, Glitch/Toby.

This is me just ranting/venting on my family or what's going on in real life.

So yesterday, me, my mom, my step brother, and my step dad were at one of our neighbors houses by the lake, I brought up the legendary 'can I cut my hair short?' Question. 

My mom said no, you can't cut it that short like that again. And of course I ask 'why can't I cut it short?' And we had this whole (somewhat) argument (if we had an argument my mom would take away my music, I cannot live without music, and she would also probably beat me with a stick).

And then that is when she said the most manipulative sentence I've ever heard from her mouth. 

 "Last time you got your hair cut that short, you cried because you hated it so much."

 I never remember crying because I hated it, I only remember absolutely loving it. 

Then we agreed on just cutting the bleached part off (since the tips of my hair are dyed, right now), but I'm thinking of going to my dad and asking if I cried because I hated it the last time I got my hair cut short there.

Then she is all nice to me and happy-go-lucky again, and I know she's trying to manipulate me because just a few days ago, before I came to my mom's, my dad told me a story of when I was a small child and we were moving back from California, my dad and my mom (who are now divorced, if you didn't read the first part) planned on moving 4 weeks later, but my mom said 'nope, we're moving tomorrow, get your shit packed and into the car' and so my dad, of course, did. When they were in the car, it was late at night, I believe it was 9 pm or so, and my mom didn't want to take the main road nor did she want to drive, so she manipulated my Dad to drive all night, while my mom SLEPT. And when my dad asked to STOP to get some rest, my mom had the AUDACITY to say NO!! My mom is such an ASSHOLE! MY POOR DAD JUST WANTED TO TAKE A BREAK!! It makes me SO angry how she can just be like this and have the AUDACITY to say this shit to my poor, tired dad that came out of he Navy just a couple of weeks or so earlier so they could move! My mom is absolutely insane!!
