So my mom and I have been having weekly dinners to try and help to improve our relationship. Yesterday she came over and she had a black eye. When I asked her where she got that from, she snapped at me and said "Mind your own business". She seemed really out of it during the dinner, and barley said anything. Before she left, she gave me a REALLY long hug and she had tears streaming down her face when she broke it off. I don't know for sure, but I think my dad gave it to her. She has mentioned to me about his drinking and that he doesn't like that we're seeing each other. My dad and I never really had a relationship growing up to be honest. My mom and I constantly argued due to her strict rules and overprotectiveness. But with my dad, we barley made any contact with each other, and I would always feel awkward around him. When I left home two years ago to follow my own dreams, my dad called me very names and said that I was a disgrace to this family. He was so red that day. I don't really know how I should talk to my mom about this.
