Mom is under the impression that I loved Dad more than her. That isn't true, I love her just as much! It's like comparing apples to oranges, they are just completely different.
Pops was mild mannered, Mom is temperamental. He didn't relish confrontation whereas Mom does. Dad was a logical thinker, Mom is an emotional thinker. She wears her heart on her sleeve and Dad didn't. They weren't polar opposites.
I inherited more traits from her, we're similar in many ways. She gets angry almost instantly, holds a grudge indefinitely. She'll intentionally cause grief for a person or purposely hurt their feelings for no apparent reason. She's hard headed and likes to have things her way. You cannot win an argument with her because she will not listen to your views. She can be ruthless whenever she takes the notion. I think she's incapable of having a discussion because she's already made up her mind. If you've seen me stubborn and aggressive, now you know where I got it.
Yes, she has faults. She's not always right but she always thinks she is! I may not like her all the time but I do always love her. She's my mother, the only one I'll ever have. Even when we're fighting about something....I still love that old bat!
