My mom would actually accept me for the way i am instead of making me change my ways with piercings and hating me for my tattoos and my weight. i have been through a lot since last march and nothing i do for my own liking is good enough for hers. sometimes i just want to cut my wrists and others i just want to pack up and leave and not come back. i understand shes going through a lot but her criticizing me for how i am and what i do in my life is just ridiculous. she always tells me to be a leader and not a follower. clearly i am a leader because i dont see anyone exactly like me doing things that i do or even the reason as to why i do them. i give up i can never win at all.
