hello again
It's a slightly dark silver, this thing on my legs.
And it's hot, too, but the warmth is a comfort against the flesh of my thighs, as I type aimlessly, avoiding looking at the shiny black keys as my eyes stray to the scenary outside while my fingers mechanincally march across the board of which connects me to some sense of people.
I am feeling vague and alone- rather ostracised, too. It's hard to know you have an eating disorder but ignore the fact and go on with your life- just to crash into the disaster of everyone catching up to you and your heart rushes in fear...and then they soothe you, they love you...but slowly, guilt is worked in as you are told you shouldn't have an eating disorder, you have no need for one, is it my fault? Is it dad's fault? Is something wrong with school? Why aren't you okay? What have we done? What have you done?
And then, you get registered into some hospital.
Mother's lips are pursed, and for once her eyes remain only on the road, rather than everything surrounding it.
"Your father isn't going."
"Mmm."
"What?"
"I said yes. I know."
"I can't believe he won't go and see you before you get in there."
"Yep."
"Will you stop typing?"
"No," I said shortly, and my fingers fly faster across the keys, making a louder and most obnoxious noise as I pound away. She's so predictable- bitching about my father. Sure, I was annoyed- he wasn't going to 'see me off' or anything. He was just going to 'call me later'. But I didn't need her- as always- complaining about him.
Sometimes, if I don't respond well enough or not at all, she snaps about I have to at least pretend to like her and etc. I snort and she explodes about 'what was that for'. I always inform her that I will not pretend because I do not NOT love her. 'Well you don't act like it, the way you talk to me.'
GROW UP I want to scream at her. She is so dramatic. And passive agressive. She's an attention-seeking, annoying, and ugh.
Ohh yes, she is my mother.
We've pulled into the parking lot and I'm sitting here.
My sister shifts in the backseat noisly. I wonder how she feels- she's the one that found out about my disorder and ran to Mom.
My mother seems frustrated.
