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. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.
I literally just had a falling out with my parents today. I guess it's been coming. We connect on very little. I'd say they are mostly stereotypical boomers, and whenever I just try and tell them about the issues I'm having with life and society, they claim they've "been there" and effectively devalue my concerns. It's maddening. I'm still processing it, but apparently we're not talking anymore.
I guess that doesn't fit this post exactly, but there it is.
No, but I understand that. I've been on bad terms with my own mother following an incident last October where I swore at her when she refused to hear me out when I tried to explain myself. The full thing is obviously a bit more complex.
Our only interactions since have been arguments where she's said very verbally abusive things and it's hard. She's done better than her own mom, who's just generally verbally abusive by only doing so while mad, but there's some things you can't say without having to make amends later, and she's run up a list.
Difficult families are difficult. I hope things improve for you as well.
Thanks. I hope things improve on your side too.
