We were at it again (go figure) and I’ve decided that enough has been said. Enough screaming and ranting. I’ve moved out to a hotel. If nothing else it’s quiet here. Mum didn’t want me to leave, claiming that running away and avoiding things won’t make it any better. She’s probably right. Except I don’t think of it as running or avoiding. I don’t see us agreeing to disagree and living peacefully unless we’re far, far away from each other. That, and I don’t really see it as running away as much as I see it as closing a door (to a place I don’t want to return to) and opening a new one to walk through. I’ll take my imagined traumas away.
I wish I could get a flight out of here but they are few and far between. So, I’ll spend a few days in a hotel and catch my original flight home on Wednesday. Maybe I’ll rent a car and explore the city. At minimum perhaps I can get some work done on my paper.
I feel better.

Good for you. I know so many people who would stay and be completely miserable. It gets to a point where you have to do what’s right for you. And you did. And you feel better. Most excellent! 🙂

Good choice. I think a little distance and peace of mind for you will make a big difference and hopefully the trip won’t be a total loss.

Even though my mother lives less than 50 miles away, I actually see her maybe 4 times a year. And for periods of 4 hours or less. We may talk a half a dozen times through the year. That is enough for both of us. Our lives have grown apart since she moved out of the city. That’s just the way it is. Sometimes less is better.

Remember family is family but you need to look after yourself first!
Hope you are able to find some stress free time now that you have a bit more breathing room.
