Please read this thread; it’s a situation I’ve been stuck in for about 2 years now (nothing deep) I just want people to read.
The woman’s daughter and I were friends and our friendship ended horribly. After that her mum disliked me but I decided to give her mum the benefit of the doubt as her mum was alright to me during our friendship
I understood why her mum disliked me, me and her daughter had drama and so I was able to look past the dirty looks I received from her in public etc. Once in a supermarket she even made a snide comment at me and my mum.
But about a year and a half later, on a very rainy day, the mum was driving the opposite direction to where I was walking so she saw me, made eye contact with me and SWERVED into a puddle splashing me head to toe and drove off.
At this point I was livid, the constant dirty looks in public I could tolerate, but the fact that a woman in her 40’s could just exploit her power as an adult by splashing me with her car was just spiteful. What kind of example are you setting your kids?
From then on I had no empathy for this woman. The fact that she could just attack a 16 year old like that over a petty argument that was over a year prior was just pathetic. Since then she’d been stopping off every morning at a child minder 2 doors down from where I live.
I see her every morning when I walk out of my house, and receive the dirty looks which at this point just feel normal to me, but a few times she’s parked in front of my drive blocking my mum in when dropping her kid off.
One time she even drove slowly past my house and looked straight into my living room at me from her car, she even tried making me feel uncomfortable in my own home as if I shouldn’t be there.
Even on results day when I was interacting with everyone, proud of my grades and talking to my friend, the mother and her daughter walked into the building and she stopped turned around and glared at me again. Even on a day of celebration she couldn’t help trying to upset me.
At this point in time the daughter and I were to say the least civil, our problems between us were in the past; we had moved on but her mother still hates my guts. I realised that this isn’t a mother being protective; she’s a bully. Even today if I see her I get glared at by her.
I made this thread as ever since this woman in her 40’s has made me feel like shit, it’s eaten me up, like she’s had one over on me, and my just getting my point out there makes me feel that at least I have spoken my side of the story. This woman is a bully.
Parents it’s okay to dislike kids that your children know etc but please don’t act like how this mother does!!! It’s a waste of emotions and sets a bad example.
