Things between my mom and I are definately getting tenser. She definately favors my brother more than me, and she isn't afraid to show it. I can only count down the DAYS until I leave. She slaves us around all the time, and when she actually comes out of her ROOM... it's even worse. I often just try to steer clear of her, but in the end she finds me and yells at me to help her. She's called me an embarrassment MORE than once, shes called me a pig more than once, the insults just never stop.

I just don't know how to make her happy. Nothing I do is good enough or up to her standards. She doesn't know that half the time I come upstairs and when she thinks I'm sleeping, I'm really crying. If she knew what she did to me and how she makes me feel maybe she would change.
