The radio played in the background but it couldn’t be heard over my mom yelling. This was the same crap I dealt with every day. I could have sworn that woman tried to find something to fight over: this time it was about how I should‚ “be more responsible” and “find a job” and “needing to grow up!” Her words were so repetitive she was
