Confessions 15h
My mom used to compare me to a friend. It used to hurt my feelings to be compared so I started playing softball and actually listening to my dad as a coach to avoid speaking to her but I stopped once I realized my dad was also a little abusive too.

I should have just told her how it hurt me to be compared but I know it would have hurt her feelings

Its admirable that you dont want to hurt her feelings but in the end you were the one hurt. Sometimes the people we love need to be told firmly (and lovingly) that
