I don’t think she understands the impact of her words when she starts talking. I have always been insecure about my height. I think I have a good face for an Indian guy, but I don’t have the height to ascend. I have opened up about this in front of my parents before, which I’ll explain later.
I already knew my mom was like this, considering how often she brings up my height for no reason at all. For instance, she compares my height to my taller friends and my brother-in-law, saying she wishes I had grown more. At first, when it was directed at me, I didn’t mind much.
A month later, I completely crashed in front of my parents. This was about a week ago. I angrily asked my dad how much money he had. He jokingly replied, “5 rupees.” I then said I wanted to do height-lengthening surgery, which is why I was asking. He hugged me afterward to calm me down.
Today, my mom had a dream where she got married again. First, she woke my father up early just to yap about it. I heard everything from the other room because I barely sleep these days. At most, I get around two hours of sleep.
Up until then, things were fine. Later, she called her friend, a woman she often talks to and seems very close to. While my dad was cooking, since he cooks in the mornings on his holidays, she started talking in a mocking tone in front of him. She said the new husband in her dream was cool and that everything was set for her marriage. Then she mentioned the most brutal part, saying he was taller than this shortie (my father).
She keeps the phone on speaker, we were also hearing her friend laughing from the other side. It disgusted me so much that I stopped pretending to be asleep and woke up just to create a distraction.
