Checking in. I was on the phone with my best friend yesterday when I heard my highly aggressive sister outside yelling at my mom. I should have known to get off the phone then. She came in and yelled at me to stop talking to my best friend and not to talk to him ever again and to clean the room I was in. How dare she?!? My friends are my business. She was way out of line and was totally inappropriate. She then demanded to know how long I had been talking to him that day.

She also isn’t living in a 4 bedroom house with two incontinent, mentally impaired people and trying to keep all the balls in the air. She occasionally brings a meal over and that’s it! When she comes at me like that I don’t engage with her. It only devolves into a screaming match where nobody wins.

I got on Amazon and bought a book with 365 words and phrases for dealing with difficult people. I’ve had just about enough.

I was having a bad day yesterday. Therapy was tough and I was physically under the weather. I tried to drive my brother to the doctor but he wouldn’t go in without me and I wasn’t well.

I’m feeling better today but my sister really made me angry and embarrassed me in front of my friend. Throwing my hands up.

I hope everyone has a peaceful day. Hugs to all.
