At 30, I told you I hated you. I said I never wanted to see you again and that you were the biggest regret of my life. The words tasted like vinegar on my tongue, but I couldn't help it. Lately it had seemed like I didn't even know myself anymore. You had given up on me, I think. You were tired of making me want to love you. You wanted me to love you all on my own. Maybe it was because I had spent the past ten years loving you. Sometime in the past few years, I had reached a point where it had become so habitual to love you that I decided to stop loving you easily. But now you were tired of being the one who wanted everything. 

You wanted the house, I had agreed only because you said how it would make everything better.
You wanted the dog, because you thought it'd show us how to be compassionate.
You wanted a baby. You told me it was because you wanted to be a dad and to prove that you could be a better dad than yours was. I didn't say yes because I was afraid of being a mother like mine.

So I said I hated you.

I said it because you brought up a baby again.

I said it because you gave me that annoyed look.

I said it because I could feel you giving up on me.  

So I said it and I left.
