My Mom's Crazy Rules, My Ultimate Payback.

Ever since my mom, Brenda, became single, she turned terrifyingly obsessive.

She envied her neighbor, Mrs. Henderson, who was a high-ranking executive at a big company, so Brenda started imposing strict rules at home, indulging her own power trip.

She demanded I submit a formal request and wait for her approval for everything I did.

One time, just because I yawned without raising my hand and yelling "Request!", she slapped me across the face.

When I had a high fever and was throwing up, she forced me to write a medical leave application, over and over again.
