Name-calling isn't so much her thing, but when I used to have long hair it would get really tangled and I often couldn't do anything about it (especially in the summer when I'd been swimming in chlorinated water all the time). She liked to tell me that I looked like a witch. Not in a good-teasing kind of way, but a malicious/angry way.
But then, I guess, the joke would be on her. Witches can do all kinds of things. And they don't have to take any shit.
Happiness can be found, even in the darkest of times, if one only remembers to turn on the light.
It's not even that my parents act like this. Okay, it is, and it bugs me, but people are imperfect, so I could forgive that. It's just that they act like their behavior doesn't have any problems/ramifications and that they can continue to act that way. And I was raised on that crap.
Like, my mother has really bad anxiety and I know that her controlling behavior is her way of trying to alleviate it. So it would have been a lot better for me to hear "I'm feeling really anxious and I need you to be patient with me" than "Everyone around me is horrible and my life is horrible" or repetitions of the "controlling voice".

Just reading that raises my blood pressure. I deal with crap like that from people all the time and it drives me insane. I literally need day vacations from my family just to keep my sanity. Sorry man.
