𝐖𝐀𝐑𝐍𝐈𝐍𝐆: 𝐒𝐄𝐋𝐅𝐇𝐀𝐑𝐌I entered the house, slamming the door behind me, my mother followed calling my name. I ignored her, consumed by anger and frustration.
"Dani!" My mother shouted.
"No! Leave me alone!" I yelled back
"Oh my fucking God, You're being so dramatic!" My mother yelled
"No!—You said that you were done!—You said that you were going to stop for Dad!" I cried out.
My mother rolled her eyes sighing. "Dani shut up and listen to me!" My mother said angrily.
"You're an asshole, mother!" I continue to rant.
I felt the sting of my mother's slapping hand connecting with my cheek, a sense of shock washed over me. It wasn't the first time she had struck me, but it had been a long time since her anger had led to such a violent outburst. As I stared at her in disbelief, I felt my anger rise even further, fueling my desire to lash out at her back.
"Did— you—just touch me!?"
"You wasn't listening to me."
"And when do you ever listen to me!?"
"You told me and dad that you would stop drinking, you know how you get when you drink."
"You get abusive and crazy!"
"You broke your promise." I continue to rant on.
"So what!"
"You body shame me and called me slurs when you were drunk, why do i feel like you think that's okay?" My voice softens.
"Because I don't care Dani, they're just words."
I scoffed, "just words, got it."
She sighed.
"And You didn't even care to ask how my day at school went," my voice softens.
