Thanks Sandi. I agree that she wants to keep some measure of control too. She is completely self absorbed, and it shows to everyone now. Coworkers, people at kids basketball, friends, etc.
I don't want to be friends, and I am showing it now. I don't chat anymore. I don't really even listen if it's not about my kids. I made it a point to sit in a different section of the gym at the highschool game. Sat with my cousin, who said that she kept looking over at me. I never saw it because I made a specific effort to not look at her.
I'm probably coming off as an ass, but I really don't care right now. Is that wrong? I'm having an angry week, sorry. I have been so concerned about doing something that offends her that I haven't really lived my own life.
Time for that to change.
Rant over. (Mic drop)
