Unless I remember it differently, that's quite literally all. I told my Dad that my Mom cheated on him and as a result, she lost his support making it necessary for this woman to either pay rent (she did work) or move out so we could get a smaller place. It seems illogical to me, as I can't believe that she would expect to get a free ride forever. That's really all I can think of. I've been mulling over it for a while and that's the only conclusion that seems anywhere near accurate but it still makes little sense to me.
It's possible maybe she feels I fucked my Mom over and that's why she's pissed...? Does that sound right? I'm really grasping at straws here.
Well yeah, that's what people do. They don't like to be reasonable, they'd rather blame someone regardless of how far off it is. She blames you for getting her booted, and probably blames you for every bad thing that happened to her for years after leaving your place.
For your own sake, know it isn't "right" what she's doing, nor is it logical. That's just how people are. You did nothing wrong. Don't stress it. She's just stupid.
Urghh... the thing is, she actually met with a lot of fortune once she left, she was offered a great job and a luxury suite to live in at a hotel that the president of the US routinely visits... she turned it down to move back home. Maybe there's a part of the story even I am missing but from my knowledge, she's kinda loopy.
You're right though. I wish there was some explanation I could understand but it's done. I got another reference anyway. It's just frustrating that I had to. Jeez.
Trying to get into the Army Reserve so that I can be a step ahead when I go into Army ROTC in university next year so when I graduate, I can do active duty as a CO. The recruiter told me yesterday that they started the police check and he didn't call me today so I'll probably hear from him tomorrow. I lived in at least seven different places. I have to retake the ASVAB and then I start all of the official shit.
Oh jeez, they'll treat you like shit for being a reservist during basic training! Oh well, once that's over you'll be ahead of the game hopefully. Basic sucks for everyone but they still bully reservists and National Guard pretty bad, even the Drill Sergeants get in on it.
Good luck and I hope you do well! Pick a good MOS! Don't let them fool you into taking any shit job. And they will try to fool you. Just remember, before you sign the contract, YOU are in charge....you have more play than you think. Once you sign it, you're just a number and it's too late to help yourself.
IIN for someone to hold something against you from your teen years?
