My brother and sister-in-law.
My brother and sister-in-law. Walking, talking examples of a "well intentioned ass". Not to mention totally lacking in insight as to how this relates to being self-serving.
I mean, I get how certain things I do are because they are rooted in or address my own issues. Though I wonder a lot now, about how much clueless doing something for somebody else I've done in my life. The insensitive and obnoxious side of that is really grating. I hereby apologize to anyone to whom I've ever done that.
Meanwhile, my hard-won self-insight is not helping with the happy, jolly idiots of the world. People whose lives are examples of #helping. People who are, in fact, making things very unpleasant and difficult for me and my parents, right now, while they are trying to 'help". Thanks for adding to the stress, anger, and general misery, folks. Do go on with your bad selves.
I know having family is supposed to be better than the alternative. I do. Would someone please remind me how the heck that is supposed to work, again?

Sadly, it doesn't always work how it's supposed to.
ReplyDelete(But when it does, it works because your family are the ones who will have your back just before it hits the wall, even if they kept thinking about stabbing you in it before.)
I'm not entirely sure these aren't the kind who intend to have your back but push the knife in deeper after you fall on it because they accidentally tripped you while trying to "help".
ReplyDeleteLike I say, it doesn't always work. 🙁
