Mother got mad at me tonight and bawled me out.

She said I was lazy and self-centered.

She said my room was a pigsty.

She said she was sick and tired of forever nagging

but I gave her no choice.

She went on and on until I began to cry.

I hate crying in front of people. It was horrible.

I got away, though, and went to bed and it was over.

I knew things would be okay in the morning;

Stiff with being sorry, too polite, but okay.

I was glad to be by myself.

Then she came to my room and apologized.

She explained, too.

Things had gone wrong all day at the store.

She hadn't had a letter from my sister and she was worried.

Dad had also done something to hurt her.

She even told me about that.

Then she cried.

I kept saying, "It's all right. Don't worry."

And wishing she'd stop.

I'm just a adult. and i love children

I can forgive her getting mad at me. That's easy.

But her sadness . . .

I don't know what to do with her sadness.

I yell at her often, "You don't understand me!"

But I don't want to have to understand her.

That's expecting too much.

His mother is getting tired of constantly looking out for him and just started shouting, she soon came back to him and apologised and explained to him that it was a difficult day for her... Do you believe that this is reflects well on something that could happen IRL (In Real Life)?
