My baby is curled up on the couch sleeping. He’s got a fever. He is generally feeling poopy. I have a cough. I feel kind of dizzy and out of it. No fever though.
Talked to my mommy. Uhm–can I just say that her dropping in the conversation casually that she is selling her mobile home so that she will have the ability to move “Wherever they transfer her” bothers me? She moved down there to be near my brother and his kids. She’s pretty desolate now that she isn’t allowed contact with them. My aunt told me that me having a child is the reason my mom hasn’t killed herself in the past few months because she really was hitting bottom. Oh god. Our relationship is better than it was, but I think that her following us out of state would harm our relationship and not help it.
Of course, I can’t tell her hell-fucking-no right now because she fell off a ladder at work and shattered her shoulder and fucked up her hand really badly. She’s really loopy and out of it on meds. She is having surgery next week. Not a good time to also destroy her hopes and dreams. I’ll wait till she is feeling better to do that. 🙁
**hugs**
Ugh – sick plus family drama? You deserve better.
I’m not sure there is a “deserve” in this. Getting sick happens (I was around people all weekend–many of whom did not feel well) and my mom being crazy isn’t about what I deserve or don’t deserve. That’s about her. We’ll see what happens when I state my boundaries. Maybe then we will start getting into what I deserve (to be listened to and respected). 🙂
i had to reread the first sentence several times before i could figure out what you were talking about. oh, that baby 🙂
