It sucks about his siblings, but maybe they are the same crappy people as his parents, so it's better to be rid of them, too. It is totally possible to be the only normal person in a family.Astartehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07337583910910454897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2294154635809719055.post-24633243940246918332008-12-03T22:19:00.000-05:002008-12-03T22:19:00.000-05:00http://www.philly.com/dailynews/features/35457109....http://www.philly.com/dailynews/features/35457109.html<BR/><BR/>I thought of you when I read this today! <BR/><BR/>I ditto Tash and Kalakly. Let her break up with you guys, and let her come crawling back in a few months or years. Enjoy your babe in the meantime!CLChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08030787972960755420noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2294154635809719055.post-39248496985218321832008-12-03T19:13:00.000-05:002008-12-03T19:13:00.000-05:00LOVE Tash's shirt idea!!!

Let's all have one shall we?<BR/><BR/>My fav swear line is "Are you fucking kidding me?", which I think fits well here, feel free to use it at your leisure. I agree with Tash too about the passive aggressive bs, which you know is what she is pulling. But I've gotta say, given our estrangement with my in-laws and the eerily similar behaviors with yours, let her go. At least for now. Give her what she says she wants. If she is ever really going to change and behave even decently, this may be the chance you have to call her out and force it on her. As for the rest of the family, it sucks but so goes the spineless masses. My husbands sisters both fell off the map when he cut the parental cords. <BR/>Take time to enjoy the new little man and not have to deal with the stress of the bs dealt by the inlaws. I'm sure they will be back when they have more things to complain about. Like how you didn't beg for them to stay when they said they were leaving. Deep sigh.<BR/>Hope the days and nights come round. But, hey, any sleep is good sleep, right?k@laklyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05366772609212990882noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2294154635809719055.post-63680915892341320292008-12-03T15:45:00.000-05:002008-12-03T15:45:00.000-05:00I especially hate those family members that make y...I especially hate those family members that make your issues ABOUT THEM. I want a t-shirt: "IT'S NOT ABOUT YOU (ASSHOLE)." That is incredibly self-centered, and not just a touch passive aggressive (clearly waiting for the "Oh, Mom! No! I Miss you! I'm so sorry! I couldn't' live without you!" bullshit). UGH. Really, I'm so incredibly sorry that you're dealing with this. But, like I've said before, there's a piece of me that wonders if it wouldn't be <I>easier</I> that way. Maybe that's just my grass-is-greener outlook.<BR/><BR/>I'm really sorry for your father; I hope he's ok.<BR/><BR/>And I've had your last post up in my reader waiting for my brain to think of a coherent response, and, well, it can't. So I'll just say thanks for putting it out there like that.<BR/><BR/>And hey, at least he's sleeping, right?Tashhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07376651134993450207noreply@blogger.com
