levertovfanSo one of the major things my mom and I have been talking about is Grandpa's ability/lack of ability to drive. Then today, driving me home from a rather unsatisfactory visit, mom makes several dangerous moves in her car. This culminates in her almost driving into the 7-yr. old kid next door, who was waiting outside his house for his mother to show up(bad custody case), when she made a U-turn in the street in front of my house. I know him because I've babysat for him. I was ashamed to get out of the car after seeing him run out of mom's way: his father, who I like, probably saw me in the window of the car. For me to effectively confront mom about her driving is near impossible: I did it twice on the ride home and although she made a point of signalling and responding to my questions("Did you see that coming??" "Yes. They can slow down."), she didn't slow down.
My god, I was scared. She thinks I'm a bundle of anxieties and a worrier and that my opinion, or my statements that I was scared, don't need to be heeded. The first part is probably true, but the second...
Gah.
At the moment, judging by her refridgerator and mentions of "what she can't eat", mom is on a diet that involves lots and lots of kelp/seaweed and precludes oranges.
This can't help but thinking that this diet can't be good for her temper or overall well-being.
