Syrope on the way back from dinner tonight i finally told mom about the incident with calling campus police on my ex

her first husband stalked her and eventually held a knife to her neck while he threatened her in a dark parking lot. i figured she'd understand. but instead she freaked out. i know she doesn't think i was in the wrong, but i could tell she was fighting her instinct to make it into a big deal. she inwardly freaked out i guess. she sputtered and insisted that i had overreacted until i finished my story and she basically had to agree i did the right thing. i was impressed.

we came in and she said she wanted to show me something...we watched both my preschool & church christmas concert videos and then a dance recital video from 6th or 7th grade

i couldn't believe it. i was the most adorable thing in preschool. no wonder i'm a terrible public speaker though...i kept twirling around and kicking my feet while i talked. i wasn't a good dancer but it was ok cause i liked dancing even if i sucked. part of me really wants to get back into something like dance. part of me remembers how badly i got yelled at for messing up stuff like that...but somehow time and distance and change make mom seem like less of a monster now and more just...a person who has a lot of problems and should never have been trusted with something as fragile as a daughter.

i wish my parents had taken more pictures. the videos were copies of other parents' videos. it makes me think i should document my life now more carefully. and if i have kids...

but...i'm just not sure what's going on. mom just mixed up some fruit salad and brought it to me...she's way out of character. the only thing i can figure is that maybe she sees me as a woman when i'm subjugated to a man. she doesn't realize that i fought back yet. it'll probably hit her tomorrow
