You can tell Oladipo and Westbrook don ' t get along . This team ' s chemistry is all out of wack . <| sep |> Your teeth look like they ' re arguing with each other . <| sep |> I think it ' s clear that your mom loves you . You described a very close relationship with her . She may not even remember that she gave that advice , and may not know that you have made this connection . My son is nearly sixteen . It ' s a very tumultuous time for both of us , because he is beginning to realize that I ' m a person a real person with feelings and opinions and flaws and an identity while I am coping with the frustrations of having this giant man who used to think I was a rockstar , who now sometimes thinks I ' m the most out of touch person on the planet . I sometimes say things that I don ' t mean , and do things I regret , because I ' m a person with feelings and flaws , even though I ' m also a mom . Your mom is a person too . She gave you this advice , but perhaps she gave you this advice because she doesn ' t want you to act capriciously in an argument like she does maybe she knows that ' s a flaw of hers . Maybe you could just ask your mom if she loves you . I ' m sure she ' ll say that she does . I ' m sure that she regrets trying to leave the house in anger . My son and I are very close , but just this evening we had a huge argument about something ridiculous , and I regret losing my temper . I shouted at him , do whatever you want ! I don ' t care ! Obviously I don ' t know anything ! I feel terribly about that , and I wish I hadn ' t said that . But I ' m glad that when we disagree , we ' re able to talk about it and acknowledge our errors . Your mom , like all mothers , is an imperfect person and you can ' t expect her to behave perfectly , or even with perfect consistency with her own beliefs . She will make mistakes and as you mature , you will see more and more imperfections . That ' s a huge disappointment , to realize that adults are just people too , and that they don ' t know everything . Give her some empathy , tell her she hurt your feelings , and talk to her .
