Had a bit of a blowup with my parents but I think it's ok... [View all]
Had a bit of a blowup tonight with my parents. Mostly got angry at myself and not them. I "cancelled" my camping trip I had been planning. I've never done anything like that camping trip, new driver and never been alone for long, so my parents are understandably a little nervous. They voiced there concerns a number of times over the last few weeks but never vociferously. But because of our relationship I internalize those worries and they become my own. I started to doubt if I could do the trip despite being very confident before, I got less confident every time someone would voice a concern. Couple this with my mother being a worry freak and taking control of situations and well, tonight didn't go well. I kind of had a mini melt down, mostly in my own head. But now that I've pulled myself together I think I'll still be going on that trip after all. I don't do well with my family sometimes. Interesting how things seem so much simpler, calmer and less stressful when I'm by myself.
