I did plenty of complaining on this forum about my former sponsor. Here is an example:

Because of childhood abuse issues, Parental Narcissistic Abuse by my mother, I am terrified of people whom I perceive to be controlling.
While I was staying at the residential treatment center, I was forced to reach outside for help. I reached out to this girl - the former sponsor. She brought me cigarettes, checked my P.O. box and cashed a check for me, and was supportive about what I was going through. She gave me a ride from the treatment center to the shelter where I am staying now. She also gave me a ride to an AA meeting the other day.
But...
Last week I needed a ride to a town about an hour away for an interview at that sober house. She said she couldn't take me because of car trouble and also because of her son. She is afraid to allow her son around other people so she wouldn't want him riding in the car with me, and only allows her mother to babysit him and doesn't know if her mom would be available.
Then there was another day that I wanted to just get together during the day and use her cell to make important calls and she couldn't because she didn't know if her mom could babysit. I decided I'd just stop asking her for rides.
So...
I had been needing a ride to the sober house where I am moving to in a few days. I had mentioned it to her but did not ask her because of her hang-ups. I added a bunch of friends on Facebook from A.A. and posted that I needed a ride to this sober living house. No one offered.
Then, at my support group at the CSB on Friday, I stated that I needed a ride. A nice lady who had been at the residential treatment center offered. I was so relieved. So I went back on Facebook and posted that I found a ride.
Then my former sponsor texts me wanting to know who was taking me. I told her: "A friend of mine from a support group at the CSB".
Now I'm getting pissed. Why does she care who it is when she wasn't going to take me anyway? And what business is it of hers who it is? I am an adult, I do not answer to her, she is not my sponsor nor my mother!
Am I making too big a deal out of this or what?
