Psycho is more like it. I moved out the day I turned 18.
I guess she's always been kind of like that, though.
I hear stories about when she was younger that don't surprise me. One of her first owners when she trained horses (she started training on her own at 18) told me that she got so mad at him once - that she spit in his face. I'm like "whaaaa" - he not only repeated it and assured me that it did happen ... but also told me he didn't even fire her for it.
Other stories from when my father owned a local bar - and she (100% sober) would want to get in fights with men all of the time. She poured an entire pitcher of cold beer over some guys head once ... she was litterally barred from the bar her husband owned for a week or so and she wasn't even a drinker.
I didn't inherit that fighting spirit at all. Totally opposite of her. I back down when challenged. And strike when least expected.
