What I hate is being the lame-o-screw-up of my family. I hate having the reputation of being the one whose marriage failed, the one who can't get or keep a job, the one who makes poor life choices, the one w/ a chemical imbalance in her brain,etc, etc,etc...
My younger brother and his lovely wife and their two adorable children are driving from the west coast(i'm mid-west)to see both my step-mother and me and they are seeing me first. My bro and I just talked on his cell and in one conversation he mentioned how they'd be w/ me just tonight and tomorrow am so as not to cut short the time w/ our stepmother AND that it was fine that I was broke and jobless. Of course to my paranoid mind the implication was, we can't stand to hang out w/ you any longer than we must because you're such a downer and that I was always jobless and broke so of course it's fine, it's the status quo.
Anyway, as we all know, nothing like a little victimised self pity to get one in the mood to visit w/ family one hasn't seen in over 3 years...
