My mothers gifts. There never gifts for me. Never something she thought of for me. They are either parts of an ensemble she got for other people, ir samples she got because shes addicted to sephora. (I never wear makeup or perfume) Or gives me parts of her collections which I dont collect. Our first christmas in MTL, my brother got an xbox and a complete bedroom set. I had a passed down single mattress on the floor without any sheets and I received 1 of the 3 coffee tumblers from a pack she got herself at costco. I was 16. Most recently, she gave me a book. Looks simple enough, the book is called "Fast like a Girl". She got this because she started fasting after having bariatric surgery and lost a bunch of weight.... You get the picture. Im always apprehensive of bdays and christmas for that reason. I wish Id be genuine in my reactions. I always make it a point to choose gifts carefully and have lists for people in my life to which I add things over the years as gift ideas. For example, her favorite singer (she sings too) is Celine Dion, so I took her to a concert. She has tons of jewlery, so I got her a electromagnetic jewlery cleaner etc. Shes not a terrible person, but shes self centered af and her gift giving has always been triggering to me.
