I need outside opinions here. I had a really bad argument with my mom today. I had a dentists appointment today, so beforehand I cleaned my teeth as best I could - brushing normally and then using a water-pick flossing device.
After it was done, mom asked if I had changed the removable water pick tip - there are 5 different floss heads - and after it told her that I hadn't, she would not let it go. It turned into my loudly proclaiming that I hadn't- first at home on the couch, then in the car on the way to the appointment. At which time I was in tears shouting through my sobs that no, I did not change the floss tip.
The whole argument was really really stupid - I know that. But she just kept pushing. I wasn't going to lie. But she just always does this - only it's normally about things that are equally small and she normally just let's it go.
Her argument is that she uses it EVERY NIGHT - which i think is untrue - and so i must have changed it. But I DIDN'T. But even after loudly proclaiming it 100 times, she still wouldn't believe me.
The funniest thing is that she - and my sister - always do this. They argue back so much that they're right, but mom was WRONG today. But now because of her argument, I started to silently second guess myself. Which is wrong and unfair.
And then, after we got home from the appointment, I ate a snack, then laid down and had a rest because I wasn't feeling well, and slept for several hours, and hadn't even gone back to HER bathroom AT ALL. So when she said "I wasn't angling for you to change the tip back, but thank you for changing the tip back" i truly wanted to snap at her.
When I DIDN'T CHANGE IT EITHER TIME!
So now I'm genuinely torn. I want to leave for a few days. I blocked her number from my phone. And I put a pin and a face image lock on my phone. But I don't have anywhere that I can go. One uncle is out of state for a few days. One uncle is in a house with several housemates. My third uncle doesn't really have room. And my cousin who's nearby has a farm, 4 kids, and a job, and I can't drive by myself right now.
So what are your thoughts? Am I overreacting? Let me know what your thoughts are.
