Fight With Mom

JANUARY 20, 1990

Diary | Age 12 | Tacoma

I guess I wanted to end sounding triumphant and superior. But instead I ended like a fool.

"I hope your guilt remains with you," I scream, profanities and curses racing through my mind as I march up the stairs.

"Sarah, I don't feel any guilt." In the distance she screams.

"Well for God's sake I do!!" And with that, I race to my forsaken room, bursting ever more with tears of pure hate. Now I sit waiting for what may happen next. For it was only today that mom measured to see I had risen one more inch.

Happens much too fast. Anger pushes out 'you' and replaces with a stranger created by unstable mesh of stress. Anne, does this happen to you?
