I remember coming downstairs all dressed and ready to go, and asking my mum to drive me and my friend's date who lived around the corner (whom mum didn't want me associating with). She started crying saying I was such a disappointment. Apparently she'd been looking forward to this night as being one of HER proud moments. It's always about her. I refused to get drawn into another argument on MY formal night, so I didn't say anything and my friend and I both went by taxi. Then my dad turned up and started writing me off about being a bad daughter. Hmm, not the best memories...Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03359434044034424315noreply@blogger.com
