Anita,

My father offered to give me a few hundred dollars when I moved and I told him I was fine; he had won some money at the casino.

2 days later I texted my mom to Venmo me the money 200-300 dollars because he does not have the app To send cash. She got frustrated and said she doesn’t have money just sitting around and sent me a website on used furniture. (My parents are not rich but comfortable so this is no problem) I then got very upset and said some smart words and that I was not coming down to visit next weekend.  I’m in Illinois and they r in Florida.  2 weeks then go by with no talking and I asked her for flight information last night and she threw the argument in my face.  I sent out a group text to family and it went downhill from there.  My dad ended up having a meltdown I guess and my sister blamed it all on me.

So I had to eat shit basically early this morning and apologize to my mother even though I don’t mean it.  She had to be prompted  to return the apology.
