Had a major argument with my mum.

I am manic and last night was out with a friend when she showed up at KFC screaming about how I should be at home with my kids (they were with dh) so in my aggressive state I sent her some angry texts. Saying perhaps there is a reason both her dc are self harmers. And how dare she judge me as a mother.

I feel pretty bad now but how can I apologise when it's how I feel?

If it's how you feel, maybe you shouldn't. Sometimes things need to be said before everyone can move forward.

Why not give yourself a few days to think about it all before making a decision about how to proceed with your mum?

I assume your children were safe with your husband, it's not like you had left them alone in the middle of a meth den. Why was she so angry?

People who show up anywhere 'screaming' (do you mean that literally?) shouldn't be surprised if they get a few offensive texts from time to time. I really wouldn't apologise. Focus on stabilising your mental state and let the dust settle.

Yeah she was literally screaming. Because I went out with a female friend Friday then went out with a different friend Who is grieveing for the loss of his mum Sunday night.

what business is it of hers?

Vitalstatistix · 08/09/2014 20:55

your husband hasn't been complaining to her has he?

No my husband hasn't been complaining to her.

I don't think you're unreasonable to be annoyed with somebody who turns up somewhere to scream at you.

This part of your post causes me concern: "I am manic" - Are you in crisis at the moment? If so, please consider contacting your local MH team.
