There is a person I must vent about who does not realise that I know they are as two faced as they come and are only speaking to me out of guilt. My finances are my business and they turned around the other day and said that I knew all about benefits, how much is ....But what angers me is the audacity of this remark. Its not my choice to be in between jobs. But it is probably my fault that I cannot in a month of Sundays land a respectable job in my area because of my crazy youth.
My health problems would have happened no matter how rich or not so well off my up-bringing had been. I have bi-polar end of story. I was not sexually assaulted as a child or any of that nonsense. I am just bi-polar, so what.
They also said that my step fathers strict approach had obviously not been a success. Because my brother has had a spell of depression too. When my brother told my mum that he had to take time off, she dropped her shopping bags and said: oh for fox sakes not another one!
And that guys is my mother for you, she does not think before she speaks and does not care if her opinion offends. Because of her bolshie confidence she had always been offered supervisory rolls at her jobs but she admitted that she doesn't like responsibility. Well, this is hardly a revelation I could of told anyone that my mother and now partner have always shirked responsibility. My Uncle said to her it is about bettering yourself and not just the small increase in wages.
We were out once in a pub and we were in company of one of my old pals new group of friends and my mother does anything to blend in and be controversial thinking she is erchie. And she says to a lesbian couple that she wishes she had been born gay and if she had the option she would be gay because men are....you get the picture. And one looks astounded and floored and says "you would CHOOSE to be a lesbian"
