Difficult Misunderstandings

(Please do NOT take this personally),
(Also, please do NOT hack this, I have a right to openly express myself),

Jerry: Let’s not have this take on a life of its own!!
Erik: I’m just saying I want to be treated kindly! I don’t want anyone to brag about how successful they are. It was totally irrelevant!!
Jerry: She’s been on edge lately, it’s not all about you and your needs.
Erik: How is it selfish to request being treated with respect!?
Jerry: She’s not being disrespectful. She’s setting boundaries.
Erik: Bragging about her success has nothing to do with reminding me that she’s unable to talk at certain hours! And I’m on a later schedule! And if you can’t talk, why not shut your phone off and get back to me tomorrow and politely list the only times available if at all!! There’s no need for bragging!!
Jerry: You are really stressing me out! Please stop!
Erik: You’re ignoring everything I’m saying! I’ve always been so kind and patient towards her! And since she’s being a bitch again.. I just don’t want to be around her!
Jerry: Don’t you use that word!
Erik: Way to not ignore what I just said!
Jerry: Would your mother like you using that word?
Erik: No! And I’m sorry, but that has nothing to do with what I’m trying to tell you!
Jerry: Don’t ever say that word again!
Erik: What is wrong with you!? You wanted me to not focus on dramatic specifics yet you’re sidetracking this whole conversation by nitpicking words I’m using because you can’t admit that she’s being mean to me.
Jerry: She’s done way more for you than you realize!
Erik: I never said she hasn’t been supportive! I’m just saying I didn’t like the way she decided to respond after I reached out! She went on a power trip and I didn’t deserve to be talked to that way!
Jerry: Well she was the one who suggested to me that you see your step father before he passed, so you should be more grateful.
Erik: Even if she didn’t suggest that I don’t think that would have prevented me from going on the trip! If anything mom would have suggested it and you would have agreed!
Jerry: All I’m saying is that you need to be more appreciative of ways she’s helped you.
Erik: And all I’m saying is that she did not need to dismissively say that it was inappropriate of me to reach out to her when I did because she instead could have said nothing!
Jerry: Erik, she has been under stress!
Erik: Well I just forgot and I told her I’m reaching out to her because I didn’t want to bother mom while she’s making arrangements! So she didn’t need to get mad at me for reaching out to her!
Jerry: Erik, just stop.. this is getting to be too much.
Erik: Oh come on! If someone was talking to you the way you’re talking to me right now you wouldn’t like it!
Jerry: That’s it Erik, I’m done with hearing you whine and complain over nothing.
Erik: Oh fuck off!!

Jerry ends the video chat, then Erik stands up and screams by himself in his bedroom.
