High road or low road
So my sister-in-law Candy unfriended me on Facebook. I got an odd comment from Andy on my Easter post where I said "Happy Easter" ... 'why don't you acknowledge Candy' Huh?
Her birthday is tomorrow. I mailed a card with a Dunkin Donuts card in it.
Today I got the card back, unopened with a note about how I don't feel that family is important. That they've invited me to visit yet I always find reasons not to go (funny, I don't remember being asked to come up any specific time).
I'm tired of apologizing for things I haven't done. I'm tired of apologizing for hurting her feelings. No one in her family talks to her and dammit, there is a really good reason. She's a self-centered emotionally-retarded drama queen.
Phew. Got that out.
High road -- reach out
Low road -- tell her that my life doesn't revolve around them and that I'm sorry she doesn't have a job, doesn't have friends and is imagining things because she is just existing.
I don't think I'll be taking the high road on this. In fact, much as I'd love to take the low road I won't do that either. I'm going to drop a note to my brother telling him I love him and that I'm sorry 'his' wife feels that I have slighted them. I have a life. I live it. I care about them but I'm not changing who I am just because his wife is needy.
Way to ruin a perfectly good mini-vacation to come home to this bullshit. Again.
