There has been a relationship fracture between a family member and me recently, due to some public shaming on her part. When I expressed how it made me feel, the part that was directed towards me, said person just turned the focus back on themselves, bragged about themselves and how great they are and basically told me my reasons were shit. And that is fine, I remained respectful because one thing you will never catch me doing is poking a mentally ill person, or someone going through something hard, just to make myself feel better. I do not sink lower. I try to remain kind. But over the years, I have started taking notes on my phone of things I wish I had said. Here are just a few, in honor of my quiet falling out with a family member.
- Why are you speaking to me this way? Are you okay?
- Adults are allowed to communicate frustration without it being considered a character flaw or personality disorder.
- This is my life and I am going to live it the way that I want to, just as you do!
- I am going to live my life how I want, and if you are not ok with that. Bye.
- Fuck off!
- Fuck all the way off!!
- I don't need you to understand how I live my life because I do not judge or understand yours.
- If it costs me my peace, it is going to cost you my presence.
- I do not need advice from a person who is living a life that is not the best example of anything!
- After finding on a Christmas wish list "grandparents for my kids", I wish for a better son-in-law, but here we are!
