(no subject)
I am really stressing out this week. Next weekend is my sister's graduation, so the whole entire family is obligated to drive to Athens and spend time together. I honestly don't know what she was thinking inviting the whole family. You have to pick one half, and the other half gets to do the next big event. So I'll be hanging out with my dad and his people and trying to avoid any interaction with my mother and her people while pretending that nothing is wrong for my sister's sake.
And then Mother's Day is coming up, and I have no idea what to do. The woman did carry me for nine months and tried to be a good parent. But as far as I'm concerned, she's just my sisters' mother and my father's ex-wife. I feel no more attachment to her. Am I obligated to send her something anyway or does the fact that we probably won't be on speaking terms ever again excuse me from acknowledging this stupid holiday? I just can't decide what I should do. I think I'll do nothing. That way, she can't make herself believe that she's right about things because she's not.
Families are a big fat pain in the ass.
