My Heart Breaks

Wow,
I am amazed at the hate you show me. Walking around using the F-word. Calling me hateful, hurtful names. Screaming you've always hated me. I cannot believe how you talk to me. I have never said the things to my parents that you have said to me. I would not have dared. I knew it was wrong then. I know it is wrong now.

You've given up football because the coach is stupid. You quit trying in school, because your teachers are stupid. You hate me because I am stupid.

How my heart breaks to watch you do these things to yourself. This is your senior year. You should be living it up and getting on with it. But, you don't. You blame everyone but yourself for the way your life is going. Life is a series of choices. And every choice has a consequence.
I am amazed when I think about your skewed reality. You want a car so you can go "to the clubs". But you are not old enough to go to the clubs. Without a job, how will you afford gas, insurance, and oil? This is just one of the many questions I hope you ask yourself.

I hope you find what you are looking for.
With love, Mom
