Boiling Mad at Insensitivity
Thank you sll for your insight. One person hit the nail on the head:
She does not want me with Marlin, he is iher baby 27 this month.
She is jealous of the time he and I spend together.
She hates the fact that Laurie and I were a "package deal", I told Marlin when we met that if we had a relationship, I was not going to cut Laurie out of my life to be with him.
Marlin looks at Laurie as the daughter he never had, he was never previously married or in any real serious relationships.
I know logically that she meant "she is not my blood" but for a woman that sits at the kitchen table all day long watching soaps and game shows, she sure brightens up when Nemi walks in the door.
She has expressed concern at how slow she thinks Nemi is to talk and really wondered why we have taught her 15 to 20 sign language words. (Nemi has really started chattering, as those at last group heard.)
She has had alot of time since Saturday night to explain, but chooses not to.
They all think I am too damn sensitive and take too many things way too much to heart. Blame it on my being Bi-Polar. Guess what, I am simply a very sensitive person, things go straight to the heart vbery quickly and I have to work very hard not to over-react. But they say I over-react all the time.
I hear a sentence in my head from my dad--- "For such a fat kid, why do you have such thin skin and cry so **** easy?"
No wonder I go see a shrink weekly. Thanks all of you,
Karen
