If there's one trait I hate it's hypocrisy.  I come by that honestly.  My mom always emphasized the importance of integrity and fairness.

According to the person whose opinion most matters, I'm a great hypocrite. Apparently, I have a double standard for "practically everything."  Even given overnight to chew on it and a clear indication of how much it hurt me, there was not a hint of a retraction or a qualification of that opinion.

And I value her opinion very highly.

That she loves me anyway isn't really very consoling.  "You're what you hate worst, but I love you anyway . . ."?  That just isn't working for me.

It really hurts when the person you love most gives voice to your own self-accusation.
