Often times when I try to discuss families with other people I get honestly sad.
- To me, it seems like other folks have much better humans in their lives than I ever had.
A lot of my best friends talk about thoroughly enjoying the time that they spend with their families each year, going to their parents for advice when they have incredible complications, & even having supportive ears when they need a financial hand; Personally, I don’t know what any of that feels like. My family is not so great. In fact, if I try to discuss my complications with them, somehow they only make things seem worse. They might be more worried & neurotic than I am, even. They can’t resist poking at every detail in my life, & that is tploy even when they’re at my home assaulting my appliances. In fact, every time they come down to visit me in the south, they spend the whole trip freaking out about how tepid & humid it is outside. I don’t know how this is news, I live in the south where it’s tepid & humid; You would believe that they would get used to it & stop freaking out about the weather conditions for the week or two that they come to see me, then but no, they are obsessed with checking the news & repeating the weather. They continually try to rectify the heat with controlling the indoor weather conditions. They’re always touching my temperature control, altering my temperature control program & beating on my terrible air conditioning unit. Almost every time they come to visit, I have extravagant repairs to make in the wake of their worried attacks.
