perfect momYou know that woman in your life who is perfect . . . yes that one. She drives me crazy.

I mean, she isn’t really perfect, she just thinks she is.

The one who is an expert at everything. If you have done it, she has done it better. She is full of so much bullshit that you can barely tell the color of her eyes.

I find it exhausting to be in her presence. Every moment with her feels like a lie. Me constantly accepting her lies about her past, and her experience as she throws them in others faces. Fear over calling her on it . .  knowing what will happen when I do.

And yes, I am aware that it is probably due to lack of confidence that she puffs herself up so much, but in the end, how is that continually my problem?

I know exactly how this will end. One day I will say something and soon I will be the mom-attacked and degraded, instead of the one standing safely in her shadow.

But, it will be worth it, won’t it? To have called her on her lies, and taken a step towards living in reality, instead of her version of it?

Please, tell me it will be worth it?

  1. Step away from the not-so-perfect mom. Do not engage… remove yourself from her shpere and let her implode on her own. She will and then you don’t look petty & jealous for calling her out.
