TAKE THAT

[fushigi_na_chou]

~.: I finally voiced my opinion to Kristie, about one thing: the dishes, which no one else seems capable of doing, even at dropped hints. I feel utterly stupid for saying anything, and I'm sitting in my dungeon sobbing and shaking, but I feel kinda good about it, because now the gates are open, and the rest can come pouring out

*applauds* Way to go! Hooray for standing up to crazy step-moms!

I'd tell off Ramona, but I know it wouldn't help. She would just ignore everything I say and then complain to my Dad that was being "disrespectful". *rolls eyes* I've tried talking to her calmly before and that doesn't work either, so.... I just try to avoid her/ignore her when possible. XD

You need to let it build and then explode. It'll seem more serious that way. ^-^ Seemed to help with me. 8D

Oh, it's been building, trust me. I'm a non-confrontational person, but I think it's only a matter of time before I snap. Hopefully I'll be able to get a job and move out before that happens.

[fushigi_na_chou]

See, for me, snapping helped. Because my apology afterwards led to discussion, which let me express my frustrations and to understand Kristie a little better as well. I hate her a little less now. :3

Don't feel like an idiot for letting your feelings be known. The process to fix things can't begin if no one knows there's a major problem. :3 I agree with apologizing, though. Let her know that you've had experience with dirty dishes before in our dorm room--not very pretty, nor did it smell pleasant. D:

That woman is really starting to grate on my nerves. >o

[fireflowerlass]

Aww. :-( I'm sorry, kiddo. It's good you're getting it out there. Has it worked, so that you can talk about more things that are bugging you?

[fushigi_na_chou]

Yeah. It was a good thing what happened. I think it's really helped our relationship, especially if I stop worrying about hers and Dad's and let him worry about and take care of himself. :)

[fireflowerlass]

Ahh, that's a good thought. If they got themselves into it, they should be able to handle it ;-)

[fushigi_na_chou]

Well, it's mostly that she treats my dad like crap, but I can't be worried about other people's relationships. I can listen, but other than that, if I get myself stressed out about his and her problems, I end up not liking Kristie in spite of how nice she is to me.
