My mother seems to really like showing me how much better my siblings are than me. Anytime I mention anything happening in my life, she doesn't even let me finish a sentance before cutting me off about one of my brothers' or sisters' accomplishments, and how they're so superior to me in every way imaginable.

The worst part is any time I mention art or friends. If I talk about how I'm trying to do commissions for people, or even if she sees me drawing, she tells me about how one sister is selling all these amazing paintings, and how the other sister's a tattoo artist, and both of them are so much more talented at drawing than I ever will be.

If I tell her that she won't hear from me on a particular day because I'm going out with friends, she immediately changes the subject to my brother and how he's gonna be this big-time celebrity, and how he's had his picture taken with all these famous people, and how I'll never get that popular EVAR!

One of many, many things listed under "Reasons I want to put away the pencils and hide in the corner for the next eternity".
