About 2 weeks ago it was about 11pm and I was working at my computer looking for jobs and reading cnn when my mother came in to begin one of her nightly random fights. It was a long day. I had worked all day and was very tired. Basically when she begins I try not to say anything. Her new thing is to accuse me of lying. She calls me a liar all day long in just about every conversation. I don’t lie.
Finally that night I called her on it. I asked her to tell me any one specific lie I had told that day. Silence. She continued. She called me a liar again. I asked her again to tell me a lie she had caught me in on yesterday, or last week, or last month or any time at all. Just name one. Just one.
Silence.
She has finally stopped calling me that name.
