94. Yep. That is my mother.

One would think she was intelligent and cultured.

Like many teens, I had some major questions about what I began to perceive as a hypocritical behavior from some people and some authority figures. However, she did not want to discuss certain topics and would not even acknowledge certain issues. I would try to talk to her about them and how these things were important to me, but she would not even respond to my queries. She would instead start another conversation about some banal item. If someone were to walk by the room, they would have been confused, because before seeing what was going inside, one would think there were at least four people in there because there were two different conversations going on.

So, it is probably no wonder that I am as messed up as I am, thanks to such complete and willful ignorance of reality. Some people don't want to live in reality. I live with one now, in fact. They strive to be anywhere but in their own skin. (A lot of the times, these are the same people who cannot handle being wrong about something either. So, being a 'denier' makes this easier for them.)
