Thanks guys. It's ok though. She's at peace with it and she's been losing her sight to the point she can't read or knit anymore, which was her joy in life. I think she's glad to go and that it will be fairly quick. Also, it's the grandmother who said I should go ahead and kill myself when I was 15. She said that to my then 19 year old brother while I was eavesdropping. So, I'm not feeling too sad. It's just that it's family business and it needs to be taken care of.

 

On another note, my sister went and outed me to her (rainbow girl, if you recall). Grandma has no problem with it, or so she says, but I feel mightily annoyed that my sister went over my head like that. Maybe I'm overreacting, but I feel it wasn't her place to tell. I don't know if I should confront her about it, considering how well our last conversation went (long story). She reminds me of my grandma actually. I hardly ever call either of them for some reason...

 

Sorry about the rant. There's a reason I moved 500 km from my family.

Hi there! I just found your thread and I took a long break as well. So I'm right there with you!

 

i'm going to follow your thread for the rest of the challenge because I'm still looking for buddies to keep me interacting on this site.

 

I'm really sorry about your grandmother. :( And all the family stuff in general. Long story, but I can relate. (Also, not cool of your sister to out you, I don't think you can "overreact" to something like that, IMO.)

My baby sister did that to my family and my husband (now ex)...one of the reasons he came and took the kids in the middle of the night (long story, won't bore you) not her place, your life, your decision when and how that needs to be told (and IF)

I cannot fathom saying that regarding another human being...omg...I would hug you if my arms would reach!!

OMG, why would your sister do that? I find that extremely rude and disrespectful.

The funny thing is that she probably won't see a problem with that. She always assumes that she knows what's best for everyone. I sent her an e-mail protesting her actions. 100$ says she won't be sorry and she'll lecture me.

 

She accused me of being a redneck because I like guns. She had no idea what the slur redneck meant exactly, and after I explained it to her, she used it again at the end of the evening, meaning to be in jest and she chided me for getting offended. I told her to go f*** herself and she said 'see? I can have a discussoin without resorting to verbal violence'. Apparently slinging slurs is not verbal violence. The worst was "It's up to you to be offended or n ot". Oh yeah, she can go around insulting people but they're the immature ones for actually being offended.

I knew it!

 

My sister did apologize... at first. Then I got another e-mail telling me that, unlike me, my sister had other people to worry about and not just herself, reproached me for never checking on her (point, but then she never checks on me either) and finally that she didn't want to be responsible for my secrets and that I should just keep them to myself.

 

I knew she would find a way to make me the wrong party. Knew it, knew it, knew it.

As someone who struggles to apologize...I only realized just HOW bad I am at apologizing once I read Gary Chapman's book, When I'm Sorry Isn't Enough (I think). Turning it into some sort of roasting of the other person is definitely not a real apology.

 

It's something that I hate about myself that I'm working on. I'm too proud...

 

Um, anyway, kudos to you for putting up with her.
