I'm sorry that many of you can relate to this situation because it's not a pleasant place to be. But it is comforting to know that I'm not alone, actually makes me feel less crazy about my situation.<BR/><BR/>I don't know why I let these things affect me so much because the situation at hand is one of exhausting predictability, so why the heck should I be so upset by it? Maybe because I'm always hoping for some sort of change or evolution to take place but i realize how that's not going to happen so rather than get angry, which then leads to disappointment followed by a whopping dose of guilt, I need to accept the situation (that I have completely no control over) and adjust my reactions to them. Sounds sooooo simple doesn't it? But why can't I actually DO this!?!?

I am truly sorry that you are in the midst of it.<BR/>I don't know what it is, but I wonder if it's the same reason that surgeons are not allowed to operate on their own family members: we just can't be truly objective at that close level of relationship. What comes up, what hurts, what festers, are all so different with family than friends. Why does it get under our skin so much? I wish I had some wisdom for you, but all I can say is, "Me too," and "I am so sorry for your discomfort."Gbergerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08895779471612397202noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37085797.post-64183063957950096302008-05-05T11:41:00.000-07:002008-05-05T11:41:00.000-07:00Tiny friend, How appropriate that you'd have a pic...Tiny friend, <BR/><BR/>How appropriate that you'd have a picture of a GIGANTIC phallic looking THING right at the beginning of your insightful post, and then end it with an SNL skit. Like I've said so very many time before, you are so totally daddy's gal. <BR/><BR/>It sucks big time turning into that seething, not-so-nice person, isn't it? I hate it myself. Even if it lasts 5 minutes you feel a if you've run a marathon. You're mentally and physically exhausted from exerting all of that energy just to be NEGATIVE. I'm sorry you've had to come across it. <BR/><BR/>Truth is, no one can ever 100% escape it, especially when it involves family. You just have to turn more frequently to those elements in your life that bring you peace and self-love, like your little family and sanctuary, both the 2 legged and 4, and to your friends, whether online or in real life. It's a community and we're all here for you. <BR/><BR/>If you're free tonight and care to chat it up over some Pinot, give me a call. <BR/><BR/>Milo sends you 3 quick licks on the neck, and Achilles says to say thank you for the cookies. Mama finally let him finish the last of them. He was NOT happy with the slow rationing of the goods!!!<BR/><BR/>Love you.Najiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14530016194487801049noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37085797.post-49271994010344514442008-05-05T11:02:00.000-07:002008-05-05T11:02:00.000-07:00There are several people in my life, from my past,...There are several people in my life, from my past, back home, that when I'm around, I just... downward spiral into a person I don't really like either. Negative, mean, jealous, hateful. I hate that. And it's a huge reason why I moved, and why I don't go home often anymore. I like the person I am when I'm away from those people. It's hard when those people are close friends and family members. It's not easy to 'cut' them out of your life. I'm rambling, and this probably isn't in line with the feelings you shared in your post, but it reminded me of this.<BR/><BR/>I love Debbie Downer! Rachel Dratch was fantastic. I miss her on SNL!<BR/><BR/>Hope you feel better.Stephaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06820948587267595833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37085797.post-26688877023424272722008-05-05T10:32:00.000-07:002008-05-05T10:32:00.000-07:00Been there...still am there actually..haha...I cal...Been there...still am there actually..haha...<BR/>I call those kind of people the 'negatives'.

But, sista, I can totally relate!!! I've been disgusted with myself all weekend for not being able to just let go of the past...perhaps I'll vent about it later, either on my blog, or an email just to you. But, remember, I'm just an email/phone call away if you need to spew whatever's on your mind. Love you!!!<BR/><BR/>Oh, one more thing. You probably remember that I usually check all my favorite blogs during the babies' rest time, and as soon as yours opened, I started cracking up at the picture. The babies had corn dogs for lunch today!
