Perhaps they don't take you seriously? i am not sure. if this bothers you, though, i'd suggest to tell them that you find this behavior annoying when you're being serious, so that they will Hopefully understand and try to restrain themselves a bit at least. Sending many safe, warm hugs to BOTH you, @Mountaindewed, your Family, your Friends and ALL of your Loved Ones! Keep fighting and keep rocking NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENS, OK?!
