Showerthoughts

A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.
Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:
- Both “200” and “160” are 2 minutes in microwave math
- When you’re a kid, you don’t realize you’re also watching your mom and dad grow up.
- More dreams have been destroyed by alarm clocks than anything else
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- No politics
- If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as "capitalism" and "communism". If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
- A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct and the TOS
If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.
Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report, the message goes away and you never worry about it.

There's no sides.
It's just a matter of what you did that was out of line, and what she did that was out of line. The amount of useless pieces of shit on this earth is probably less than 3% and I have a hard time believing you're one of them.
The things you said about your mom clearly indicate she stepped over the line quite a few times and you are absolutely right to feel misunderstood and sometimes attacked.
If she posted here she would probably also indicate that there's a few times where you treated her wrong.
But she's your mom, she should know better, and also if you're fighting a lot things happen, and people do regrettable things. As long as you question whether you did the right thing, you're fine and you probably have done well.
What I'm trying to say is it doesn't matter what she thinks, t doesn't make your feelings less valid.
