the one where I don't remember my mom going crazy

I seriously don't know when it happened. I guess I'm experiencing what most people go through when they're teenagers. I never really had those huge blowouts with my parents in high school. I guess I'm due. The current conflict centers around how my mom thinks ANYONE who gets married before they are 30 is crazy. Nevermind the fact that she got married when she was 19. Who cares if she doesn't know the people or their situation. So what if they've known each other a long time. She is convinced everyone gets caught up in love and loses all sense of reason. She actually prays that people will "see the light" before the big day. This gets really interesting given the fact that I'm engaged. She refuses to discuss or acknowledge it. I haven't pushed the issue because I'm not planning to get married till after law school, so its still too early to plan. But I can only guess what her prayers sound like.

I'm not writing this so that I'll get pity comments or anything, but just to illustrate how crazy my mom has become. I feel like I can't even talk to her anymore. Anytime one of my friends gets engaged I don't even feel like telling her because she won't be excited. I just get tired of it.

I wonder what her deal is. There's got to be a deep-rooted issue there! The majority of the world's population gets married before 30...seriously! When it comes time to start planning your wedding, just tell her to deal with it because you KNOW that this is what the Lord's plan for your life is--and she can't argue with that because it's between you, Brian, and God. So there.
