I got a phone call from my aunt. My aunt means well but well, she KILLS me…..happy new year right? Heres the conversation.
HER: HI, its aunt mary. Just wanted to see if you were ok.
ME: im ok, happy new year. You sound down. Are you ok?
H: yes im ok. Just thinking about husband, (passed)
M: sorry bout that.
H. You are doing so well im so proud of you. You were so neglected, so abused. And you must always feel so horrible
M: OK….sure….they are not around anymore (the Parents) so I don’t want to be reminded of how resentful I am towards them. Because I am already pretty aggravated at them.
H: well think about it. You were soooo abused and kicked to the curb all the time. Im shocked you turned out as well as you did. Provided what you dealt with. Can I ask you a question?
M: sure…..big mistake….big…huge
H: Did your brother ever do anything to you?
Bottom line was I told her off. And thanked her for messing with my perfectly good new years eve. Thanks for bringin up that I was abused, neglected, and talked to like the biggest piece of crap in the world. Im very aware of how I was raised. I don’t need to be reminded daily. Why not just wait and screw up my bday as well? I know she means well. But it was killer. I was in a good mood but everytime I think about it. She brought up so much crap. I just didn’t need to hear. Just venting. Thanks. I was in bad shape but called my new mom and she talked me through it. Thank god for her. I love her….Why would you do that to somebody? I know she means well. But geez. Wait till a holiday right?
