For Christmas, I paid £100 towards my mum's new TV. They needed a new one because of their deteriorating eyesight, and I wanted to be nice, despite the amount clearly being excessive for what I could pay.
After less than a month, my mum threw a coffee cup at it in a rage. She's an alcoholic and threw it because apparently my dad was being snarky.
Anyway, it's completely destroyed.
It's not the worst thing I've ever dealt with from her, to be honest, but I'm completely done with her.
When I was growing up, one of my strongest memories is of her suddenly screaming and smashing plates in the kitchen. In the end, I was glad when I'd get home and she wouldn't be there, because it meant I was safe. She must have spent half of my teenage years institutionalised.
I don't even know what I'm meant to feel about this. Right now I want her to disappear forever.
Oh my gosh. I'm so sorry.
I don't know what else to say, but I feel really badly for you about the TV and also about the stress you've endured.
I'm just coming to terms with the fact my mum's an alcoholic.
I always made excuses that she "only drinks wine", but no ... she's alcoholic.
I paid the price in many ways just like you.
