I’m visiting my mother for Christmas. Our relationship is already very complicated and toxic, but an hour ago I made her cry by accidentally letting her see my (second) tattoo. She told me that I’ve disappointed her, and has been crying for an hour. Part of me feels very guilty to make her feel this way, and a part of me is just disappointed and angry because, despite me being an adult and having my own life, she still wants to control me. I’m supposed to go back home on the 28th, but I’m not sure if I can stay sane until then.

If having a tattoo that does not affect her in any way caused that much drama I’d be heading home early, too.
So would I.
You need to get some drinks in your mom, or smoke some weed with her to mellow her out.
