Well, that came out in a burst
I love my family...but sometimes I don't *like* some them very much. Or rather, I don't care for their behavior.
I'm sorry that none of your children have given you grandchildren, Mom, since it makes you sad. But you are talking to the wrong person. I can't tell you what you did wrong that caused it, and you should take it up with the married children because their reasons for no kids are not my business.
Also, if you don't like The Biochemist's tattoos or hope that she doesn't get any more, either say so to her or be quiet because saying so to me is pointless. I like the tattoos. And I'd never tell anyone what to put or not put on their body. Not my business, once again.
I'm not a talky person. I'm happy to call and check in, but I don't really enjoy talking on the phone. If I'm quiet, it's because that's my default. I'm not mad or sad; repeatedly asking me what's wrong is guaranteed to make me mad. Further to that point, I don't tell you things because I know that you have ABSOLUTELY NO FILTER and will share everything I tell you with everyone you know without regard for whether it's appropriate for wide dissemination or whether I might have wanted to share it myself rather than you sharing it as if it was your personal news.
I'm happy that you are happy with your body now. Really. But I don't want to talk about weight loss now any more than I did before.
I don't understand what you are doing with Step-dad. I mean, I love him and he's the father figure I have, for better or worse. But you said some really cruel things about him to me, and about your relief at being single. I am struggling to reconcile the things you said with what you are doing now and the amount of time you are spending together and whether you are sending mixed messages.
