So yeah, I...screwed things up with my aunt again. Mostly because of a favor I was trying to do for my sibling that went pear-shaped when my mom arrived on the scene. My mom was actually surprisingly good about it (she said it really wasn't my fault, which is kind of her to say considering, and I really was just caught up in the midst of things), but my aunt...well, I just feel awful because I accidentally made her upset. She was kind of going on about how my sibling and I, thanks to the issues that we're currently having (and it's not like I don't acknowledge the good my mom did, but I feel like I just can't trust her right now. I feel guilty thinking that, but it's the truth), didn't realize the good that my mom was doing. My mom has done good, she really has, but like I said, I'm a bit iffy about trusting her right now. It's just an uneasy feeling. And yeah, maybe it's just suspicions I have and a lot of haziness, but it's there nonetheless. And I also feel bad for getting my aunt upset. It wasn't intentional on my part but I still feel awful.

Were you able to talk with your aunt after her feelings were hurt?

What does a favor turned pear-shaped mean? I'm unfamiliar with the expression.

Dear Ladyrevan21 - jeez, I too know the unremitting pain of guilt - like being broiled on a spit! You didn't mean to cause a problem, things just went out of control - you have my sympathy.
No matter what's going on at home, rooting for you, here.

Take care
