My visit home

[lipsticklibrarian]

Urgggghhhh God

I went home to England to visit my family for a week at the beginning of February hoping that a short visit would entail no outbursts and my mother would be well behaved. Right from the beginning she was behaving really wierd, I spent the weekend with my boyfriend and she had invited me to dinner and a bike ride which she told me would start at eleven. I arrived about five minutes late and instead of just being happy to see me I had already screwed up in her eyes because I was late. Then when I got inside she told me that she had given my coat to my little sister, which seemed really strange to me. I live in Dubai and most of the year don't need winter clothes so I kept them at my mothers house, so there I was with no suitable winter coat in England in the middle of winter! I was so angry with her and her response was 'well I didn't think you even liked that coat.' Luckily my Grandma had kept a coat for me so I didn't spend the whole week shivering.

To top it all off my sister wanted me to spend the last night with her which I said I would but on the way back from visiting friends my train got cancelled and I came back late. I was staying in town and I couldn't see the point of taking a taxi all the way to her house and all the way back when it was so expensive and I had a very arduous two day journey back to Dubai.

She phoned me in an absolute fit, both her and my sister had wound themselves up beyond belief treating me like I was some sort of naughty child who was in big trouble. My little sister is very enmeshed and also the golden child so she mirrors my mother's behavior so she was screaming down the phone at me that I had broken my promise of staying the night. I had spend so much money and several days of uncomfortable travelling to come home and the two of them just completely ruined it. I'm so angry I'm tempted to not come home at all for the summer.
