“You know what we think, so I can’t say ‘Congratulations’, but okay.”
My mom’s response when I told her Robert and I got married.
And they wonder why I never come back to visit anymore…
Until next time...

At least your mother didn’t tell you that your partner needs to “Grow Up” shortly before she tells you she can’t make it to pick up her meds for her fix.
AREN’T FAMILIES GRAND… I personally prefer the family I have created.
My chosen family is definitely my “real” family.
That’s a shame, but didn’t sound unexpected. I’m not sure I would have told her – she seems to have no vested interest.
Nothing vested, but I’m sure they’d attempt to swoop in in an instant if something happened to me. So it maybe was more like a warning to them if anything?
So sad. For them.
I keep hoping they’ll come around. But maybe it’s time I give up.
Yeah..my mom said “you know what I think about how you live” in response to our wedding invitation five years ago. I haven’t spoken to her since. It’s been a great five years!
I guess it gives me a valid “excuse” to no longer send anniversary cards to them…
Next time you feel the need to call her, call me instead. I’m good at making cookies, offering sound advice, and spanking when you have been naughty.
Homer, can I call you too? 😉
And me too? 😉
I’m never naughty. 😉
But thank you for the invitation. You never know when I might take you up on it.
1# – you did the brave thing and faced your fear. Good for you!
2# – it wasn’t the worse case scenario.
3#- I too find it sad for her.
Thank you. It was definitely a difficult thing for me to do. Which is really stupid considering I’m 40.
I’m sorry, it’s too bad she isn’t happy that you have someone in your life that loves you and makes you happy. Life without someone can be very lonely – I wish she would think about that.
One would have thought after 17 years of me being with the same person, she would realize that. But alas…
