Rough Morning (warning: rambling vent...)

sophiemarie18 · May 2010

Hi ladies! I did an intro earlier in the week, but in case any of you missed it, I had a missed m/c in Dec/Jan and am finally able to ttc now (my cycles ar 44 days long so it feels like it has taken forever to get to this point!).

Anyways, I'm having a bit of a rough morning so far and thought I'd vent if you don't mind. This morning my mom called all upset about Mother's Day coming up. I'm in TN and she's disappointed that I can't come up to IN for the weekend, but I'm coming up the next weekend due to my sister's bridal shower. She started complaining about how she hates the holiday since her mom died 17 years ago, etc... So, I told her that I was feeling kind of upset about it too. She snaps at me, "Why? Because you're not a mother? Stop worrying about it, it will happen!" She then continued to say that at least I don't have to worry about my two youngest daughters (my sisters) feuding and not coming to visit because they can't be in the same room together. I really didn't know what to say so I made some excuse and got off the phone. Those words were just so hurtful coming from her, and it seems like every time I have a problem she has to one-up me. Then, I called my sister to vent and she was not helpful at all. Instead of taking my side, she said, "Maybe you should relax about it more and it will work out. Just look at me. (she had a surprise baby in Aug. with no job, no insurance, got a dui a week after giving birth, and is now marrying the baby's dad so it has all worked out in her mind). I just wish people, my family in general, could be a little more sensitive. I'm tired of the world revolving around them and their problems. Thanks for listening...

I'm sorry you're having a rough day. That comment would have sent me over the deep end, so you're a better daughter than I am. Hope your day gets better!

Big hugs. Hearing those things from my family would have done me in. I"m so sorry they said all that to you.

Thanks so much for the kind words and hugs, ladies! Although I wish none of us ever had to go through this, it is so nice to have support from people who understand!
