No, we don't walk away. But when we're holding on to something precious, we run.

People are flawed. You really don't know what was going on with her the day she hurried you off the phone. I know you are supposed to be polite at all times, but sometimes your raw emotions take over and getting through the day is paramount over the feelings of others. I totally get that you reap what you sow, and you are more than allowed to feel what you feel about the situation. But a single minute during a hard time in someone's life is probably not the best time to judge their whole being.

Pat, I'm from a HUGE extended family, with LOTS of cousins, most of whom I have never met. Differences in religion, heavy drinking of some (Aunts & Uncles), & unequal treatment by Grandparents (some kids were coddled, & some got thrashed for the same behaviors) has led to dysfunction, & while some of us reach out to each other now, there are those who will continue to be complete strangers to me.
<HUGS> for dealing with all of this!  |
