This was me this past week. My aunt (my deceased mother's sister) phoned me. Her husband passed a couple of weeks ago, how do you not answer the phone? I didnt go to the funeral, but i sent flowers. She said they were nice, then went on and on about how she saves her money, sounding exactly like my mother, which i took as a criticism for the flowers i sent.

Then she starts talking about how her son and grandson are doing low carb and losing weight, and she told me how much SHE weighs now!

These are exactly the reasons i stopped talking to my mother.

I cant afford any more setbacks. I cannot afford to spend one more day of my life depressed.
