Ah, yes... lol Whenever I would look at my mother like she was crazy or disagree with something she said, she would ask me, "Is it THAT time of month again?" Or she would say, "Why do you take on everyone else's feelings and worry about them all the time?" (lol because I wasn't allowed to have my own feelings and was supposed to worry about what she wanted all the time). "Oh, you're so sensitive about everything!" My reactions were never a response to her unreasonable demeanor, sick mind games, or thinly veiled criticism or embarrassing remarks in public.
Like once she asked me in front of a boy I had over at our house, "ARE YOU WEARING A BRA?" (I was so embarrassed, I hissed at her YES, because I WAS wearing a bra)...
Once I asked if I could have an advance of a few dollars on my allowance because I had a girlfriend from out of town staying over and we wanted to rent a movie. My mom at first told me, no. But then soon after, she came into my bedroom and threw a pile of change in our direction, some of which hit me quite hard. And I was so shocked that after she left I started crying. My friend at the time tried to cheer me up and told me it was okay, but she never came to visit me again. 8(
