Mommy issues.

the perfect word to describe what the relationship with your mom was. It might be good sometimes, but whenever you guys argue, she brings back your most sensitive bruise, the one that she left on you and will never heal.

You had your boyfriend at home, and he already knew about your mommy issues but never saw them coming to life, "thanks god" that's what you think whenever you see that your mom is behaving and holding herself back too hard as she fights against the temptation of slapping you and calling you names whenever you have friends, family members or even your boyfriend.

but it all came down the road when you were helping her with grocery bags. You accidentally placed the bags folded on the table to be easier for you to pick them up later, while minding your own business, your mom looks at you and snaps.

mom: you fucking bitch, useless asshole can't you see what the fuck you're doing!? You son of a bitch.

once she said this, your boyfriend's head snapped up, his eyes locked on your mom as he fought against his protective side to just shut your mom up. You immediately get the bags and start putting them on their place. After a while, when you were in the bathroom, your dad was arguing with your mom about how she called you earlied.

dad: you really can't help yourself huh? You just love making that girl feel like trash.

Riki couldn't stand them anymore and knocked on the bathroom door.

Riki: princess...it's me...may I come in? his voice just as soothing as always.
