I dropped my voice and stared into her eyes. I could tell she was trying hard not to look away. I was so furious I could have cheerfully ripped her head off. But you're going to find out, Mom,' I said very softly.And it's gonna give you nightmares for the rest of your wasted life.Oh, my God, I was so badass. It was all I could do to not give a MWA HA HA!
I intensely locked eyes with my mother, dropping my voice to emphasize my point, knowing she was resisting the urge to look away. My anger was so raw that I felt like losing control, but I held back, determined to make her see the truth. I warned her that the revelations would haunt her forever, adding a threatening edge to my words. I felt powerful in that moment, almost wanting to laugh at my own bravado.
Reflecting on the encounter, I thought I looked incredibly tough, proud of my defiance and courage. I was filled with a sense of accomplishment, as if I had mastered a secret game of emotional dominance, and the thrill of that moment made me feel unstoppable. It was a rare feeling of confidence, knowing I had pushed the boundaries of my emotions to stand up for myself and deliver a powerful message.
