Today was not a bad day.
I informed my mother how very annoying she can be. Her reply was "I know, well you can be equally as annoying" and we had a bit of a giggle over it. I am glad I am finally learning how to deal with her and her "ways" with a bit of humour. My therapist said I had better learn how to do this or I will spend all my time getting angry. She's in her 60s. She is unlikely to change at this stage. So the only one who can change here is me.
