Had a long talk with her about this yesterday, becuase I brought up how I havy to tippy toe with anything I say around him.
Apparantly according to him, we didn't turn out okay. Were not appriciative enough, we haven't made enough out of our lives, and thats a reflection of him becuase we squandered the leg up he gave us. So were bad.
Now my sister might be a legitamate gripe, since she took 5 years of school, and is working stacking fruit... but me? I'm working in the field I trained for, even if I'm not 100% happy with my job, there aren't a ton of oppertunities, and overall I'm happy.
but no, becuase i'm not out there controlling the world or something, i'm bad... lol
and becuase i'm bad over that, obviously everything I say is going to be an attack on him...
ugh.
Just drives me nuts.
Hell, the hypocrasy of all this, 1 month ago when he was down visiting, I got to hear him bitch about how upset he was that my sister moved to this town becuase it was there retirement / getaway area, and he's annoyed that it was invaded (sheesh she'd feel unwanted if I told her he said that). Yet almost every time I talk to either of my parnets they keep suggesting that I move up here, I say no, and I get asked why not... I can't say "becuase you don't want me" becuase that would seem like i'm emotionally blackmailing, but come on, you clearly don't want us here, i celarly don't want to be here, so why do you keep telling me to move here, and listing about why it would be better then where I'm living
ARGH
Okay venting complete |
