**My Mom Behaves Like A Teenager After Her Head Trauma. Cringe!** is the 599th episode of ACTUALLY HAPPENED.

## Original description

Not so long ago, a big disaster happened in my family - my parents had a car accident. My dad died before the doctors arrived, and my mother survived, but she had a serious head injury, and spent two months in a coma. Then she woke up, but you know ... it's hard for me to feel happy because of this. Instead of my kind, wise, and caring mother, I got a terrible girl named Trixie.

While my mother was in the hospital, I lived with my uncle, my mother’s brother. He came from another city to cheer me on. But when my mother woke up ... and especially when it became clear what happened to her after the injury, he just picked up and left! To begin with, after a coma, my mother had amnesia. I was ready for something to be wrong with my mother ... but she did not remember VERY MUCH - in fact, she remembered NOTHING that happened to her after she turned seventeen years old. She didn't remember that she had a husband, or even me, her own daughter! And she was very surprised that her brother had managed to get so fat and why his hair had disappeared. But something was even worse - my mother was absolutely sure that now she was actually seventeen years old! My uncle did not even wait until she was released home from the hospital. Before leaving, he hugged me tightly... I don't think he's EVER hugged me like that, not even after the accident... and he said: “I'm sorry, baby. Beatrix was a real monster at that age.”

And he was right. Because there was no Beatrix anymore, now my mother demanded that everyone call her Trixie, and it was impossible to explain anything to her. And in addition, this was dangerous for her mental state - since the doctors believed it was only time that could restore her memory and the true perception of me as her daughter. Otherwise, there was a risk that my mom would become deeply depressed or that something worse would happen. So, on the advice of the psychiatrists, I introduced myself to Trixie as her housemate. I had to help my mother gradually get back her memory. And for this, first of all, I would have to establish a relationship of trust with her.

But Trixie wanted to spit on me! I thought that it would be hard times for her and that I would become a support for her in a new, unfamiliar world around her... but it was nothing like that. Although Trixie was forced to re-learn about the technological advances of the past twenty years, she quickly figured everything out and soon created accounts on every social network and app. She was especially interested in TikTok.

I also thought that during her rehabilitation, my life would turn into a real drama. Just come to think of it, my poor mother who suffers from losing her own past, and I who was unable to help her. But mom ... no, not mom, but that damn Trixie quickly saved me from moral distress… and turned my life into a living hell!

…When I informed Trixie that she did not need to go to school, she was happy! However, she had absolutely no idea what to do with herself. But certainly not to do household chores! I had to cook for two, but Trixie was naughty, demanding that we order pizza or Chinese. It was absolutely impossible to get her to wash the dishes. She never put her things in order and, in addition, she messed up my stuff too! Trixie was stealing my makeup and taking my clothes without permission – my mother’s old clothes now seemed terribly boring to her! But stealing was not enough, so Trixie began to spend money on clothes. And then more on cosmetics. Then she began to make purchases on mobile games. And I could do nothing about it, because I was stupid enough to have given Trixie access to our bank accounts - I mean, they were still in her name! Thank God, we got some insurance money after my Dad's death.

While Trixie stayed at home, staring at TikTok, she became a fan of the e-girl look. She cut her hair and began to dye it in different neon colors, she began to draw hearts under her eyes, and even posted a dancing duet with a cat! I was so embarrassed to see my mother, at forty years old, acting like that! Fortunately, she did not get many followers, she got bored again, quit her TikTok account and ... began to go out for a walk.

This became a real problem. Of course, Trixie was looking for some company among her peers ... I mean, whoever SHE thought her peers were. I did not want to introduce her to my friends, but Trixie followed me when I went to hang out with sone of them. When I saw that Trixie was approaching me, I thought that I was going to die! They knew that my mother had miraculously survived the accident, but they did not know that now she considered herself a seventeen-year-old girl, so they did not recognize my mother, who was still dressing up like an e-girl. And for a while, they didn’t even notice how much older she was than they were.
