Chapter 6 March 26, 2008

Dear Jonathan,

You’re wrong. Mom’s still mad at me and refuses to even speak to me. For an adult of 28 not very mature huh? Our daily routine has become something like this:

She wakes up and watches tv…

… then eventually remembers to feed us both, which becomes my cue to feed Mellie….

…which evntually leaves me to do the dishes since she can’t be bothered to clean up after herself….

…while she leaves to “pursue other worthier prospects”…

….and I’m left to teach Mellie how to walk.

When she does come back, all she does is lock herself up in her room and usually either reads a book…

…. or takes a luxorious bubble bath (contributing to our growing hydro bill).

I don’t know what to do without getting into another fight with her. Everytime we talk, or I try to talk to her, we end up arguing about something and it doesn’t stop until one of us gives up and leaves.

Like that time I tried to convince her to get a job. She said it wasn’t necessary if she found a wealthy man to marry. Would it kill her to be rely on herself for once?

Even little Mellie wonders where her mother goes everyday and I have to tell her everyday that “Mama’s doing big grown-up stuff. She’ll be home sooner or later.”

Of course, nothing ever goes as I wish isn’t that right Jonathan? You would know better than anyone.

Love Christine
