Any idea why?
I feel for you, I've just been like that for the last couple of weeks.. (panda)
No idea. I'm generally awake until midnight anyway but usually asleep not long after. I don't think it helped that I went downstairs and ended up talking to my mum after I spoke to J and she started telling me that my former best friend is thinking of adopting another child but Scarlett won't play with her and she doesn't grasp that I don't care. She told me the other week that the other one is getting married but my sister can't afford the hen do. They stabbed me in the back, their actions led to me not having my sister in my life for 2 years, led to me being blamed for her miscarriage (it was my mum who told me that too by the way), I ended up having no escape from an abusive relationship because their actions made it easy for him to isolate me further. All my mum achieves when telling me about their lives is to remind me that I am alone. I have no friends here, the only person I have other then my family is J. My brother and sister barely bother with me. Not to mention, how can my mum not realise that it's incredibly hurtful when she's talking about someone adopting, someone who stabbed me in the back, or telling me about my sister wants another baby? And yes, I've made this all clear more than once.
Oh sweetheart no wonder you didn't sleep after all that! I have no idea why people insist on rubbing noses in things.... I have the same from my mum too....
I kept telling her that I wasn't interested but she kept saying she wasn't telling me about them, she was telling me about Scarlett...
But..... Oooo *headdesk* Oh Jaq, I'm sorry...
I should be used to it, she just doesn't think half the time. I know it's not done maliciously but she really doesn't help.
No, I can't see how it could ever be helpful. I assume you've tried the direct "Mum, stop now. I don't want to hear it"... each time she starts?
I've tried the even more direct "I don't care. Why do I want to know about their lives going swimmingly? They stabbed me in the back. All you're achieving is to make me realise that I have no friends at all here"...
Oh hunni, I just want to wrap my arms around you and give you the biggest, biggest hug in the whole wide world.
