Like Father Like Daughter

A while ago I was watching The Real House Wives of Orange County. In this episode the son of the one mom was the biggest dick. He treated his mom like shit, he would curse and say the meanest things to her. Her friend Vikki was appalled at his behavior. And the mom was use to it because her husband treated her the same exact way. Her son just followed his example.

The reason I bring this up is I've noticed that I act the same way towards my mother as my father does. My parents were just arguing. He yells at her and makes her feel stupid when she asks simple questions. And I'm starting to realize that I do the same thing. It's horrible, I don't want to be like this. But I've been a snotty brat. And I guess she's use to it because my dad yells all the time. I guess my dad and I both displace our anger out onto her. It's ridiculous that we behave in such a manor towards the most loving woman in our lives.

I am changing this insane behavior of mine. Even if my dad is too old and stuck in his own ways I will be the bigger person and change. Life is too short and I want my love to be remembered, not my yelling and bratty-ness.

We all learn from our parents, whether good or bad.
