I'm tired of trying to understand. I'm tired of validating. I'm tired of biting my tongue and being the reasonable one. I'm tired of the endless nagging for the most insignificant little things. I'm tired of being the villain. I'm tired of my SIL poisoning the well. I'm tired of the ridiculous double standards. I'm tired of being the villain. I'm tired of bowing down to her. I'm tired of.... many more things than I have the patience to write out here.
Its time to cut loose. Give her what she wants and hope she is happy. I know I will be.
EDIT: I think this is what we call battle fatigue.
It's your list, stick to it.
Cut the leash, I think you know what i mean.
You've reached your threshold of tolerance and you're full, no one can ask you to do anymore if your cup is overflowing, you're not a machine, you're a human being.
There is a beauty in realizing and acknowledging that you've reached your limits in these areas.
Now you get to learn how to use the word STOP! and you can say things like I'VE DECIDED THAT I'VE GONE THROUGH THIS LONG ENOUGH, I DON'T WANT THIS ANYMORE!
