I don't give a damn if it's small or huge. Your problem matters. You matter.
Now prepare yourself for an epic virtual hug!
I just need to get this off my chest so bare with me for a moment. I got word the other day that my last living grandfather is in the hospital dying. There's a huge possibility he didn't make it through the night but I'll be notified whenever someone remembers to tell me like they did after he'd been in the hospital for days. I'm an after thought to them unless they want something. Now if my stoned baby sister goes missing I'm expected to drop everything and find her stupid ass even if they live a few hours away from her and I'm in another country. Or I get a call after midnight about a family member's dog going blind. Don't get me wrong I do love animals but I'm way past the point to where I really want to tell them all to go f themselves. The only family member I'm close to is my brother. The rest are toxic jerk offs. I've been numb about my grandfather getting ready to pass. There's no attachment there. I'm one of his grand kids that he doesn't count due to his mentality that 'girls don't matter' and yeah he's said that to my face when I wasn't even a teen. My sister mentioned above wanted me to call him but last time I did I told him 4 times who I was and he still didn't get it and that was years ago. So why bother? I'd probably be tempted to say a few things that would be cruel but true and I'm just not that much of an ass. I'm also dealing with jerk ex who's playing games. I'm not sure if he's changed my daughter's cell number again or taken it away but he enjoys using her to torture me for leaving his ass. I've not been sleeping well which is normal due to horrific nightmares and insomnia but I haven't been sleeping more than usual so I'm tired. I'm also waking up from brief naps nauseous. I barely have energy to craft or anything really. I just wish they would leave me alone. I don't want anymore drunken calls or hateful pm's on facebook. I don't want anymore b.s. from anyone period. I've had enough to fill a hundred lifetimes. I just want them to bugger off and leave me be. I honestly think they're slowly killing me.
Remy, I know something of what you mean about no attachment to a grandparent - when my last grandparent died, I was completely numb as she was a nasty, toxic, poison-spewing old wench. (Also I was a week away from giving birth, so had more important things to think about.) It's not wrong to have no feelings for a person even if they are a family member. Being family doesn't give auto-likes! As for the ex, I don't know what to suggest; I'm guessing reasonable adult conversation is a big no. Anyway hope you're ok and if not, that you will be. Drop me a PM anytime hun
yafashelli, yay! You made it, and deserve your saucy self-present.

Ugh, just been told I'm selfish for wanting to do something with my friend instead of babysitting my sister's dog. I told her weeks ago that I couldn't do it on a Friday anymore, and she practically ignored me. Announced today (late Thursday night) that she needs me to sit in with the dog. I cancel appointments and change my plans all the time to do this for her, and I'm the selfish one? Now I have to either say no to her or let my friend down, and this has me really upset right now.

Remy: I think it's about time to cut those family ties. Family should mean more then just sharing the same blood. Change your number if you can. I'm afraid I'm not sure what you can do about your ex.
BMH: Tell your sister no. You're friends come before a relatives pet. You already told her you couldn't, so it's her fault for expecting you to drop everything. Perhaps she has come to learn that you will come when you are called. It's time she learns she needs to be a bit more responsible and a bit more respectful.

Oh I told her. But I ended up compromising - I will stay in with the dog until my friend comes to pick me up. Then I'm leaving whether my sister is back home or not. And I've said that she absolutely can not rely on me on the days I've specified. I think I was just angry that she assumes I will come running whenever she needs something, which I won't. I need to take some time out for myself regardless of other people. And the dog has to learn that she can be alone too!
