Devious Journal Entry

Step 1 was to talk to her. As much as I hated it, I did just that. It started out as an angry debate again, but then I stopped her and told her "Why are you so angry and rude with me for the past few weeks?" I also told her that the treatment that she'd been giving me had caused me to lose all respect for her and all I felt was hate, and I didn't want that toward a family member. she told me that it was because she didn't approve of me joining the Mormon church, and I told her "That's a lie. Please be honest with me. I'm not attacking you. I'm trying to resolve the tension between us."

Again, she got mad at me, so I lightly threatened her (not a violent one or a harmful one), and she then told me.

She can't have kids of her own and she really badly wants kids. She can't deal with the fact that I'm growing up and making my own decisions.

I told her that Spencer was still here, but she told me that just one kid isn't enough for her and that he's at school most of the time. There was lots of crying and lots of hugging, blah blah blah...

So to help her with her problem, I told her to adopt. And she said that she was going to talk to dad about that.

So long story short, the load on my shoulders has been lifted and I feel SOOOO much better

I'm also excited, because I might (hope) be getting another sibling or two XP
