Part One: Backstory
There are many up-sides to growing up without a dad, but dealing with your mom is not one of them....
To say that my mom loved my dad would be the understatement of the century. They were married just days after they turned eighteen and actually walked down the aisle together at high school graduation. No one had ever seen a couple so in love. It helped that the town they lived in was ridiculously small so it was somewhat of an extended-family affair.
Both of them had bigger aspirations though. Much to their parents' dismay, they apparently packed up everything in a night and flew to Chicago. Then life got interesting for them. They had me and my sister Heidi in rapid succession. Apparently we were both hard births on my mom. My sister was a twelve-hour labor and I just wouldn't go through.
So I ended up being a C-section. It was the very last option, but my mother still hated the idea. She'd been self-conscious about her looks since middle school and that hadn't changed at all in the years following. So the huge scar they left was a massive blow to her ego. Dad was a real gentleman through her pregnancies, but that was all about to change.
Usually, it's perfectly natural for a woman to gain some weight after two kids. It's also pretty natural that a woman's body is never quite the same after pregnancy. But after my mom had me, she literally lost a gear in her head. The body that she had tried to maintain for years suddenly went down the toilet. Mom became a bitchy mountain of a woman who probably weighed close to 340 pounds!! She ruled the house with an iron fist and I have the emotional scars to prove it. And that's when my dad ran off.
My dad was a good man and a very good businessman. He was practically set for life by the age of 35--an investment genius in every sense of the words. However, when it came to women in general, he was very impressionable. It didn't take much for him to be led astray by some twenty-five-year-old secretary that worked for him. Apparently, she was the spitting image of mom when they first met and that may have been part of the issue.
The divorce papers were filed within a week.....
Mom mentally fell apart after that. Not only was she the bitchy fat cow, but now she tried to reign me in at all hours of the day. At the time, I was 19 and dying to get out there and live my life! But every time I'd go on a date or go out with friends, mom would do one of two things:
She'd yell at me not to go until I went into submission.
She'd beg me to stay and cry and just be plain pathetic.
Part Two: Revenge
Finally when I turned 20, it finally came to a head. I had met a really nice girl at my local college and mom was sabotaging everything. It began with a simple talk over dinner.
"Hey Mom. You remember that girl I've been telling you about lately?" I asked hesitantly.
"Yes........" Mom replied slowly. I could sense a storm coming. And it was going to be a category 5 type.
"Well...." I continued. "As you know, I'm turning 20 soon......and my girlfriend wants me to join her up at her parents' cabin for the weekend." I saw the swell up to an explosion. I had to finish this thought quick. "It'll be fun. There's tons of stuff to do around the cabin."
"ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MIND?!" She screamed. "THERE IS NO WAY IN HELL I'M LETTING YOU GO TO SOME FUCKIN' SECLUDED CABIN TO FUCK AROUND WITH SOME SLUT!!!!" She'd been drinking lately. I could tell; the whole room smelled like a mix of Captain Morgan and Jack Daniels. There'd be no reasoning with her tonight.
So that was the end of it. I walked away and slammed the door to my basement room. I didn't hear her follow me so my guess was that she was just standing there, plotting her next move. But I was wrong even then. I heard another door slam and I guessed that she had gone to bed. At least I didn't have to worry about another explosion for the night.
I was pissed. That was the bottom line. Mom wasn't going to stop being a bitch until something changed her. Problem was, I couldn't think of one thing that would turn the devil I lived with into an angel. It seemed damn near impossible. So I ended up just laying on my bed and chillin'.
As the night went on, I slowly realized that I was ridiculously horny. My girlfriend had left me teased big time at school. She had been wearing this tube top and miniskirt that just screamed sexy. I knew that she was at the cabin right now waiting for me. She had told me that I'd have a surprise waiting for me if I came to the cabin tonight. Of course I wasn't going to pass that up.
I snuck past my mom, but that was barely necessary. An empty Captain Morgan bottle sat next to her and it was surrounded by several R/C cola cans. She was comatose asleep and probably wouldn't awake until noon tomorrow. I had plenty of time.
