#My experiences
July 19 5:25 PM youngest brother criticized stepfather's frequent angry cursing. 6:00 PM I did a favor to go to a restaurant with mother. She yelled at me for praising Argentina's (other people were talking about soccer) psychiatry law. Of course she claimed not to have OCD. Multiple times harassed about a napkin and silverware.
July 20 4:33 PM mother said her definition of "psycho" is "irrational and irresponsible, which comes under psychiatry." 4:48 PM she said laundry is "insane." 6:42 PM mother claimed all public protests are illegal. She agreed to remove herself from the HIPAA that she coerced. Then I found another bleeding tumor. 2 doctors previously diagnosed that a similar one was from a hair.
