“If your friends jumped off a bridge would you jump too?”
Well mom, looks like we know the answer.
In my defense, it was only 3 feet off the ground.
Surely I would’ve come to my senses before diving off anything higher.
You’re not amused. It’s ok, I get it.
It wasn’t in your weekend plans to care for this ungrateful snot you call a daughter.
I hop to the window, wave to my friends and part of me wonders …
Would they believe you pushed me if I jumped again?

Not sure now whether this is a case of a problem child or a problem parent! I like the ambiguity of your story.

This is clearly a deeply troubled young woman. I’m wondering why she seems to hate her mother. Sad story.
