No, this is not the first time my mom took my phone.

No, this is not the first time I yelled at her for it.

No, this is not the first fight we had.

And yes, I am overall pissed.

Unreasonable, I told her. Just because I disagreed with her on so many things does not give her any right to use my electronics as leverage. So what if my head is in the clouds sometimes and I forget to do something, or did something that would inadvertently piss her off? That still gives her no right whatsoever to take it out on me--and the rest of my family for that matter!

Due to that, I missed out Pokemon GO Magikarp Community Day. But that's not the worst of it.

I've joined a few singing competitions on Smule--although the next entry's deadlines won't be coming around for a while, I'm still pissed I don't get the chance to have a head start on them.

AND OH, LET'S NOT MENTION HOW I MISSED A CALL FROM MY BOSS ABOUT CLASS RESCHEDULING FOR SOME OF MY STUDENTS! AND THEY TRIED TO REACH ME FOR OVER A DAY!

...

I have honestly never been more embarrassed and ashamed. And I have honestly had enough with my mother and her manipulative ways--trying to cater to her emotional needs just so she could be satisfied? Well, forgive me for being defensive, but shouldn't I get some say in all of this going on?

I can't keep my cool anymore. I've resisted the urge to smash something into a million pieces (unlike my mother who smashed my laptop a few months ago and cracked my laptop screen). Just the sound of her voice makes me want to go into a rage, though--I have to fight back against what I know is not right, and this is the treatment I get?

Ugh. I can't even do this anymore.
