Guest guest Posted December 18, 2010 Report Share Posted December 18, 2010 I've been keeping lots of plates in the air and have barely been breathing, let alone participating here. Visited nada and dd today, was waiting for one of them to make an accusation or pour out the guilt. Nada barely made eye contact, but managed to talk over me every chance she got. I heard how busy, important and exciting their life is (they are homebodies). They saw my kids, we exchanged pleasantries. She wants to spend the holiday " quietly at home. " No problem, I don't want her insanity and play pretend at my house. I have fulfilled my obligation. It hurts that it has to be like this, but I just cannot be her handmaid any more. My sister visited her this week, too. When she got back to her house she sobbed from the stress of the day, the continual bitching and bitterness. Yet my mother today insisted they had a wonderful, enjoyable day (i.e., 'she and I have FUN together, what's wrong with you?'). She's estranged from her only sister, who extended another olive branch this week ( " please can't we just make peace for the time we have left? " ), to which my mother's reply was " I don't understand what you mean. " In short, my nada is a bitter, hateful, lonely woman who insists she has a full, rich life and pity the poor fool that questions her stories. I feel very sorry for her, and alternately she scares me to death and I'm glad to be rid of her constant negativity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
