so there was another argument yesterday. I wasn't surprised. Im getting good at predicting them now. I was just sitting in the lounge watching some shit on tv, I think it was a repeat of House. And my brother walked in just as the adverts were coming on. It was that dumb alpen one that set him off, the one that says having all sexy girls on tv is sexist. And im like, yes it is. And he goes oh you think everything is sexist blah blah your opinion is shit, your views dont stand for anything, im right and you're wrong.
And im like woa, if this is how you respond to conversation then its no wonder people dont invite you to their parties. And then he hit me, he bloody hit me. And my arm went all dead and tingly. I dont think it has bruised though, which is an improvement.
He started yelling and shouting about how I was dumb and stupid and the woman in his life that it felt right to abuse. My own mother was sitting not 3 feet away, saying nothing, not even looking. And when he screamed at her 'what fucking channel is this on, and you can shut your little mouth' she just said 'five us' and blanked him as he got up and threw the remote at my head. Its broken now.
Then suddenly, impossibly, im the bad guy. "Why did you say those things to him?" she said.
I was nonplussed. I was like 'sorry what? have you BEEN in the room in the last 10 minutes or were you taking time out?'
I couldnt believe what was coming out of her mouth. Then she starts spouting all this shit, like i hope your kids treat you as badly as you treat me, sophie. Im im like WHAT!? I havent done anything except take all this abuse from my brother without moving from my chair. I hadent even spoken to my mother because I knew she'd come out with something like this.Then she starts sniffling, saying how she cant wait for me to fuck off out of it, and hopes I grow up while im gone. And Im like HELLO? Im not the one throwing tv remotes at other peoples heads? Its not me that needs to grow up.
Abd she walks out.
About half an hour later they walk back in, to turn the tv off. I was watching csi. He says 'you weren't watching that' and the screen goes black
im like "yes i think id know if i was watching it or not, i havent seen that episode" and he makes to come over at me and i just wave my hand and say "just go to bed"
then my mum pops up waving her arms and shreiking how i cant tell him how to live his life. Again. Excuse me? have you heard yourself?
And having written this im beginning to see why shes doing this. Its easier to make me the enemy because ill be away soon. And pandering to him will probably keep her out of harms way. I've become the punchbag but that suits her down to the ground.
After taking two shots and nicking some of her money i feel slightly better. |
