What you do isn't okay, and convincing people that tolerating it makes them "professional" and exactly what you want them to be is damaging. I didn't make "excuses" or "refuse to accept responsibility", I stood up for myself and refused to tolerate abuse. Maybe I'm not the only one who shouldn't be licensed if you can get away with doing this.

Yes, you're human, but you absolutely knew better. Maybe I didn't fit, but if that's how you want to justify it, then you're the one making excuses. There's a HUGE difference between feedback and what you tried to pass off as feedback. Changing what you call something doesn't change what it is and the truth always has a way of coming out.

I seriously relate to the whole 'not taking responsibility' thing though. As if they know what that means with they way they treat those they don't deem 'good enough'.

My mum says she's tired of arguing with me, but I don't believe that for a second. I think she enjoys it, because she gets to vent and I get to have to stand there and take it or face the consequences later if I'm too tired to give a ****. As if her broken record player during the years of the younger me didn't teach her that lecturing others doesn't produce any results.

It's funny, she says my methods of showing her my frustrations are insane because it never solves anything and only ever produces the same result, yet that's exactly what she does and chooses to think and act about me. I don't even want to have any special connection to happen between us. I just want her to leave me the **** be so I can go to somewhere different and find people who will satisfy the needs she couldn't.
