Own Surroundings

I watch as my mother just stares out in front of her. I am supposed to be used to this kind of reaction by now but something inside my heart really wanted her to give me some sort of reaction. I know that I feel insecure but I never thought that I will feel embarrassed.

I knew what I was getting into when I said that Kim could come and meet my mother. I should have probably thought a bit longer about it as these are all kinds of emotions I'm trying to avoid. Why am I putting myself through this kind of torture again?

I should have just told Kim that my family is out of my life and they are not a part of our marriage. But then I had to go and reveal everything to her. It just goes to show what kind of hold she has on my life. It is going to be very difficult to say no to her.
