another tense day at home. not sure what set mum off this time but i can feel the hate oozing from her core. she goes through periods of being nice and then... bam!... out of the blue there's an issue to be had. i can't take it much longer and the only way i can cope is by eating, eating, eating. my entire body is tense especially around my middle - can you say cortisol? i can't stand being around her right now.
