UPDATE: OK I know I shouldn't freak out so easily about this... and in all honesty it should be a simple matter easily resolved between 3 rational adults. But I just don't understand what the hell my mom has against J. She's just been, I dunno, indifferent. Callous even. As if she has no idea of how important J is to me. If she doesn't want me having a girlfriend right now, then she should just say so. If she just plain doesn't like J, based on meeting her for all of 5 minutes back in May, then she should just say so. Does she not even realize how hurtful even a mindless remark can be? Forget all this "mother knows best" crap. I hate it when she's passive-aggressive like this. Why can't she talk to me about girlfriends and relationships like logical people? I dunno... I'm gonna try to talk some sense with my mom tonight and hopefully figure out why in hell she's treating my relationship with J like some kind of bad habit to be tolerated by sufferance. I need answers. J deserves better.
