Even tho I don’t have to deal directly with Brenda now I still find myself thinking about it. The whole situation blows my mind. Their mom is awesome and has done so much for both her kids, seeing her being so ungrateful and thinking that she’s the one that has been wronged is so fucking illogical I don’t know where to start. She’s pissed because she thinks that their mom pays too much attention to our son. Yes our son, the one their parents are so wonderfully caring for because we can’t right now, is getting too much attention. I know that eventually she will start talking to her mom again, and their mom will not hold her accountable for her crazy actions because she has neither the time or the energy. But she’s not my daughter and I have no interest in pretending to like her at all. Before she lost her shit I was thinking about how nice it would be that we are moving closer and we can all be together over the holidays. Now I’m glad his sister and her husband and their daughter live 8 hours from Austin and I will hopefully rarely have to deal with her.
She has apparently always been a dramatic mess but nobody in the family stands up to her. Chris telling her thru text conversation last week that her behavior was not ok is the first time he’s ever done it. Her response was to delete him, me, and their mom from her facebook and call up their mom and scream at her on the phone.
And now for a random story:
Last week I was headed into Dillons and the woman parked next to me was leaving. As I passed her I spontaneously made eye contact, smiled, and said “hello”. This is NOT how I typically respond to strangers. Most social interaction makes me feel far too awkward so I mostly avoid it. As I walked into the store confused by my own behavior, it struck me why I had done that. The woman was wearing scrubs! I’m so used to being around medical staff and talking with them that my first reaction to scrubs was to be friendly. Hilarious!
