[quote=Anonymous]My mom has always been obsessed with appearance and would do anything to save face, and when I realized this I lost respect for her.

The summer after my freshman year I got a call that my best friend from school was brain dead from a bike accident. Her family kept her on life support since her heart was still beating strong and she was in a hospital in another state. I was devastated and didn't know how to process it all, and was also trying to figure out the logistics of getting to her bedside. I remember very vividly that both my dad and brother were sitting in the living room with me, trying to console me, while my mom started to yell at me from the kitchen for not calling a family friend back in a timely manner about some mundane matter and thus making her looking bad. We were all stunned, and my dad, who's normally very mild, rebuked her for being so foolishly pig headed for picking on me during such a traumatic time. I lost a lot of respect for her after that, and knew I could never go to her for comfort. [/quote]
