How to avoid being a total dick

Post Reply New Topic

My mom has always invested her entire self into my welfare, but even a guy with a beartrap memory like myself has lost count at how many times I have been an insufferable a**hole. She is neurotypical, so we respond to subjects differently, and while I think an exchange is like a debate where we present our case, she brings evidence, I bring evidence, I was not seeing that what I was doing was harassment. I see that on my end I'm being an ungrateful brat. Tell me how I can avoid being a total dick, especially for a woman who keeps me going.

Don’t break anything when you’re mad.

Don’t call your mother nasty names.

Tell her you love her often.

Bruce Springsteen grew up in or near Freehold.

I recommend keeping a gratitude journal. That really helps a ton. Every day write down a list of everything you can think of that you are grateful for especially about your mother. You can share that with her. It will do wonders for your relationship and for your spirit as well.
