I'm hard of hearing. Sometimes when my mother wants to get my attention she will call me from the other room. I sometimes don't hear it well, so she accuses me of ignoring her.
Just now, I went to ask about something and she's giving the cold shoulder. I'm confused by this and ask her what the problem is. She is angry and the only thing she will express is, "how do you like to be ignored?" I reply I don't understand the problem. So she takes the horn she sometimes uses to call me and honks it several times. Then she repeats, "how do you like to be ignored?"
I'm assuming she tried using the horn to call me and I never heard it. I don't have any memory of hearing a horn. I tried asking if this happened today or yesterday and she won't answer, She just says, "Think about what you did."
I'm very frustrated by this and am tired of dealing with that kind of behavior but I don't know what to do about it. Whenever she gets angry and starrts giving the cold shoulder, I try to apologize later to get things back to normal because she never lets things go otherwise. But I'm also getting tired of that, especially in this case when it's apparently related to my hearing disability.
