I've posted many, many times here on SS in the past about how great my mother is and how well we get along. And even that's she is red pill.
She suffered a mild stroke about a year or so ago. I noticed some slight changes in her mindset but nothing that alarmed me too bad. She herself, at the time, even said, "I can tell my head is different now but I'm trying my best to work through it and not let it effect me. " I thought "wow, that's my mother, strongest damn woman on the planet, and most logical!".
Well, this past March my step dad passed away. He and her were together 30 years. He was a very dominant alpha male, 6' 3, muscular, sucessful business man. He kept her under a pretty tight rope most of the time with money, behaviors, etc. I called him a hard a$$ right to his face because I often felt he was too hard on mom. But I also thought he has loosed up as he aged quite a bit and wasn't as bad as he was in their first 20 years.
What I am realizing now is that he must have had a tighter grip on her the whole time than I thought. Sense he died, she has become a real b|tch. She is spending money like crazy on stupid sh|t. She comes over to my house and starts b|tching about every little tiny thing. She never did that before. She had left some apple juice in my fridge a few weeks ago and some folks who live with me in my basement drank it. Them and I have a "what's mine is yours and yours is mine" relationship. It is been about two weeks and she is still flying off the handle over that apple juice. Mom was here the other night and I politely said "you really don't have to stay here, you are welcome to go". SHe didn't take my hint. Next time will be GTFO now!!
This is one of the saddest things I have seen in my life. She NEVER acted like this before he died, even after the stroke.
Bottom line: all WOMEN must be kept in check like children. Even at 7x fvcking years old. If there is nobody to police their bad behavior, they are out of control. It's mom though, of all people. I never thought she could act this way. It's so sad for me to see.
