I called my mom (because it’s be a while with everything that has been going on) We said hello and I asked her how she and Daddy have been. I told her what was what with FIL and she said she already knew. Son1 had run into my brother and filled him in.
What the Fuck?
Why didn’t she call me? She could have asked how I was doing. She has to know how hard it is to watch someone waste away! She could have stopped by to see if I needed anything. She could have asked how my husband was doing! She could have asked how my kids were doing! She’s my mother!
Why didn’t my brother call? I’m sure he told my sister and other brother. Why didn’t they call? They can all raise fucking hell if I don’t call a niece or nephew for their birthday. Oh God Forbid!! They can stop talking to me if I pass on a Super Bowl party.
Fuck ‘em. I’m too pissed for words.

on July 14, 2008 at 9:06 PMWhy should I mess with you when you’re in a bad mood? That doesn’t make any fucking sense.
Family sucks.

on July 14, 2008 at 10:20 PMEvery family seems to have one person who does very weird passive-aggressive things. Sorry your Mom was a wet poop.

on July 14, 2008 at 10:24 PMI honestly think people have no idea how to support people who are grieving and end up doing absolutely nothing a lot of the time. Like, if they stand perfectly still, no one will notice that they’re not offering to do everything they can to support you because they have no fucking idea what that even means.
Or… um, you have a family full of jerks.
In either case, ((((HUG))))

on July 14, 2008 at 11:52 PMMiss Britt-There has to be a word better than ‘sucks’. ‘Sucks’ doesn’t seem to cover it! And yes it does!
Metalmom said:
on July 14, 2008 at 11:53 PMNobody-A lot of things don’t make sense to me right now.
Metalmom said:
on July 14, 2008 at 11:54 PMBlondeBlogger-It will hurt more after I’m through being stunned,I’m sure!
Metalmom said:
on July 14, 2008 at 11:55 PMFantastagirl-I’m learning that lesson as well.
Metalmom said:
on July 14, 2008 at 11:56 PMLovingAnnie-You said ‘poop’ and made me smile! I think ‘passive-aggressive’ sums it up quite well.
Metalmom said:
on July 14, 2008 at 11:57 PMPoppy-That’s a very interesting take on this situation. I’ll have to consider that. And yes, I have a family full of jerks.
bluepaintred said:
on July 15, 2008 at 12:50 AMim guessing that it is not becuase they do not care, but becuase they did not know how to extend their sympathies. Its pretty cut and dried when the person has already passed on, but what do you say to the people waiting for their loved ones death?
In either case, I’m sorry she was not there for you.

on July 15, 2008 at 9:11 AMFamily is more trouble than they are worth
Metalmom said:
on July 15, 2008 at 9:16 AMbluepaintred-My family is the type to actually say “I don’t know what I should say” or something completely at the other end of the spectrum like “Is he dead yet?” SOMETHING would have been spoken.
Lynda said:
on July 15, 2008 at 9:17 AMI can totally understand you being pissed. And you have the right to be!
Is it possible your son said something that made them think they shouldn’t bother you (“Mom and Dad are at the hospital all the time.”), so they decided not to call or say anything until you needed them.
We never really can know what a person is thinking until we ask.

on July 15, 2008 at 9:18 AMMattMan-My brain says that you are 100% right (I’ll deny that I ever said that! LOL) but my heart is saying that its family and its not that easy.
Metalmom said:
on July 15, 2008 at 9:20 AMbubblewench-I know. I wish I could buy an ‘attitude adjustment’for them at Wal-mart though.
Metalmom said:
on July 15, 2008 at 9:21 AMAbsurdist-DON’T STEP OFF TOO QUICKLY!! Hugs are a precious commodity and I won’t walk away from them these days!
Metalmom said:
on July 15, 2008 at 9:22 AMRobin-True dat, true dat. I should have that tattooed somewhere that I can see it every day!
Metalmom said:
on July 15, 2008 at 9:25 AMLynda-Two words: cell phones. Even if it were off, I’d get the call.Besides, Dad is home surrounded by family.(That is the truly hardest part!)

Turnbaby said:
on July 15, 2008 at 2:18 PMMy ex used to get really exasperated with my family about this kind of thing. I learned a long time ago that i had to just let it go.
The people who truly care about me let me know they do.
I’m sorry it hurts you sugar.
Smooch
