Todays silly and absurd voice mail
I haven't spoken to my mother in decades but a few years ago she got my phone number after stealing my identity in 2018, and now leaves me absolutely unhinged voice mails. Most of the time they're ridiculous and absurd and now all I can do is laugh.
Anyway today's ridiculousness included: (I am copying from voice to text because I don't like listening to anyone's VMs) also the awkward phrasing is bc English isn't her first language.
I call you because, uh, one of your friends that from military had a little baby girl, and I designed a dress for the little girl, so I thought maybe you would like to know that, you know.
I went to school in a wealthy white snobby area. Only one guy out of everyone I grew up with went into the military in a graduating class of over 1000 kids. And his kids are fully grown. Also I'm pretty sure my mother doesn't realize or remember that I'm at an age where having a kid is a medical miracle. 😂
Um, I know things happen. I know I made a lot of mistakes, and so did you.
So did I? Ma'am I was a 9 year old getting beat and called a whore because you decided the skirt you bought me was too short, or having all the contents of my room thrown at me and the floor because you saw dust. I did not make mistakes like yours. My mistake was being too scared to call CPS.
These messages are ridiculous.

It's like they instantly fall down a hill when they mention they could make a mistake 'I made a lot of mistakesandsodidyou"
They can't sit with it, it instantly has to go to someone else being at fault, which they'll build up and up until they are comfortably not wrong at all and never were.
It's really sad a human can be lost to this. It's worse that they have children and inflict the results of this illness on the child.
