Three years ago, my son and I came home to live with my mother.

You see my mother is a very loving person. She is woman of few words and if she's angry with somebody she just cries in a corner instead of confronting the person involved.

That all changed since my father died.

These days she's nagging everyone and she can't seem to see reason. She's now blinded by playing favorite to her younger sons (twins). To her eyes those two can't do anything wrong.

Anyways, for a month now my son and I have been renting a house near (my son's) school. We were supposed to spend the whole weekend at home with my mother.

Yesterday we walked out on her. She and I had a bad confrontation. I decided to leave and keep my distance for awhile.

I love my mother to death. I won't trade her for anyone. It's just that she has to realize some things. And I think she can do that in proper perspective when I'm not under her nose.
