Is it normal for my mom to ignore me?
I know there's tons of other significant problems in the world, and I'm going to do my best to not sound super bratty about this subject. For my 18th birthday, I got a nose piercing because the place I got it done at does super good deals for birthdays. I told my mom about the piercing with another person in the room cause I knew she wouldn't be super happy by it, but she laughed and said okay. So I get the piercing, and I loved it!
Afterwards, a friend and I were going to a family birthday dinner for me and my mom ignored me the entire time. She couldn't even make eye contact with me. I tried my best to start a conversation but I got nothing. Even my friend said the entire encounter was awkward. She ignored me the rest of the night. Three days pass and she still hasn't talked to me.
She then knocked on my door and wanted to talk to me. She said that it wasn't her fault that she ignored me and it was my fault for getting the piercing and that she views people with piercings as bad people. I told her that this metal ring in my face wasn't going to make a difference of the person I am and that me having the piercing didn't make me a bad person. I told her that I was upset that she ignored me during my birthday and she turned it all back on me saying again, that it was my fault.
Maybe I'm just ignorant to the situation and don't see the situation from my mom's eyes. I truly don't think this piercing has anything to do with my personality.
