You're sick. I know you're in a bad place. Doesn't mean I have to bear the full brunt of your sarcasm and critisizm. I would LOVE to make you chicken noodle soup, lay you down on your bed, read you a corny bedtime story, and feed you your medicine. But because you refuse to be treated that way and I respect that, I don't really know how else you want me to cheer you up. I keep a positive attitude with you no matter what other circumstances are going on in the world. But you get sick and you take it out on me. No thanks.
I don't care WHAT the circumstances, I NEVER talk to you the way you talk to me, I never get short with you. It's not MY fault your sick, so stop taking it out on me, all I want to do is make you feel better.
Someone I respect reminded me of this:
God, grant me Serenity
to accept the things I cannot change,
Courage to change the things I can,
and Wisdom to know the difference.
I can't change your attitude towards me, so maybe I'll stop trying to. Maybe that's the wisdom in me speaking up. Whatever it is, you need to stop taking your shit out on me, unless you're prepared to allow me to try and give you perspective or make you happy. If you're in a foul mood, and there's no changing it even from me, then don't take it out on me. I don't deserve it.
