QotD: It's Too Late to Apologize

Has anyone ever done something so horrible to you that "I'm sorry" couldn't fix it?

Well, she hasn't apologized, and she probably wouldn't, even if I bothered to tell her that I was pissed. Which I won't, because what would be the point? She'd probably just laugh.

But I'm still stung by a comment my mother made to me about three years ago. She basically told me that I couldn't possibly have anything to contribute to a discussion on abortion because I'm an old maid (her exact words).

What is most annoying is that we weren't even discussing abortion. We were talking about something entirely different. But when mom gets on one of her hobby horses, she's gonna ride it. Right over the top of you, if she has to.

Anyway, it made it clear that she doesn't respect me and obviously views me as a child or some poor schmuck who can't even land myself a husband.

Thanks, mom...
