She’s raging again.

My mother, that is.

Yesterday on the way home from school my brother flipped off both Scarlet AND her MOTHER. Funny, because if I had pulled that garbage under my parent’s roof I’d have had my ass beaten from here to next Tuesday.

But, it goes to show what is really going on. She can send me all sorts of pretty worded apologies (barely) but when they don’t get the response she wanted, she goes back to raging. It leaves me with little doubt as to her sincerity. Especially when my brother acts like a little chickenshit, punkass bitch.

Today after school, Julien was driving Scarlet home and they happened to run across my brother’s path. Granted, this is petty and silly, but Julien got behind him (a block behind him) and followed him. He didn’t have to go out of his way to do it because he takes the same streets home to our house as well. Plus, my dad is literally right on the way there as well. My brother sped through two stop signs and broke the speed limit when he realized Julien was behind him.

In short, it put a bit of a scare on him, as well it should have. Goes to show you the mentality in their house, doesn’t it?

S.O. wasn’t as understanding. He told Julien he was antagonizing and not to do it again. He wasn’t all that nice about it and it pissed Julien off. I can’t blame him much, not that I think it’s a good idea to antagonize them either – I mean, at this rate they are looking like a bunch of assholes and if we do anything in response we look just as bad. That doesn’t mean I don’t understand my son having enough, he’s fed up. Meanwhile, my brother skates through his senior year unblemished and enjoying himself. I’d be pissed too. Hell, I am pissed.

I asked S.O. to make it clear to Julien that he wasn’t angry and that he understood where Julien was coming from, just that it wasn’t a good idea to do and that I’d prefer that Julien not think his father was pissed at him for it. S.O. refused. In fact, he made it clear that he was calling to INFORM ME that I was NOT to support that kind of behavior out of Julien. When I didn’t swoon and go all “yes, massa” on him he accused me of picking a fight.

It’s funny because it’s perfectly fine for him to insist I apologize to Rowan… to the point of embarrassing me in front of people… but in a private conversation on the phone he can’t give me the same consideration.

Instead I got, “That’s fine, you guys just do what you want. I’m sick of the hypersensitivity that runs rampant in that house.”

More than once I told him he was making this a big problem and he should be focusing on smoothing it over not making it worse. He blew me off. And, once again, it’s up to me to smooth it over or sit with ice treatment a week before Christmas with an assload of shit to finish up.

There are times that man makes me nearly hate him.
