lafferti:

You were so calm, explaining everything to everyone. I forgot how good you are in a crisis. Mom, you forgot because I’m the one usually causing the crisis. Well, that’s not true. Why is it so hard you to accept a compliment? Okay, thank you for your completely biased and totally unearned opinion on me. Was it something I did as a mother to make you like this? Mom, please don’t do the guilt thing, all right? I became an unemployed drug addict all by myself. Ex-drug addict. Recovering drug addict. You are completely incapable of seeing any of your own good qualities! And as far as being unemployed, that’s not your fault.
