I feel... Tired. I feel as if I'm developing a numbness to what behaviors and words once hurt me so badly. It's so very familiar. This kind of thing started for me at a very young age so I could deal with my step-father's hatred without committing suicide. It's good because I feel less pain. It's bad because it proves to me that nobody cares enough about my feelings to change for me. I'm always the one who has the change. I'm always the one who has to keep suffering until that suffering turns me cold. I have to be strong all the time. All the damn time...
I'm forced to live with broken promises every. single. day. It damages me like no one can imagine. I can't expect people to be completely honest, I guess. Honesty doesn't come in the form of "I promise to do this in the most half-ass'd way possible" because of how bad that sounds. I wish people could be that specific, though. Or just don't make promises they can't keep. It's much easier to tell me you can't uphold your end of the deal, or be my sturdy support system, or be relied on for emergencies than it is to tell me you can and then don't. Is it really a wonder why I default to despising people the moment I meet them?
I'm just so sick of everyone... I'm sick of the fighting, I'm sick of the anger, I'm sick of the selfishness. It's stressing me so badly that I have insomnia.
Ugh, and shit like this:
"When will you visit next? We miss you." I miss you all too, but I don't have any fucking money. If you miss me that much, how about contributing to a travel fund for me like I suggested? Every bit helps. You could send me fifty bucks or ten bucks for all I care, your support and efforts all mean a lot to me. Otherwise, it could be a several more months until you see me again. I have other priorities, like um... You know, a baby.
"I know you want to visit your family, but eh... That's more of a vacation for you." Seriously? SERIOUSLY? First of all, it's not a vacation at all. It's not relaxing to visit my family. They want to meet their grandson/nephew, is that really worth complaining about? Second of all, I moved to this shithole town FOR YOU. I'd rather be living with my mom, even with the baby, than here in this terrible town that will soon have unbearable heat AND homes people I don't want my baby to be around. Above all, I'd like to just go someplace nice and simple for my little family to be. Are you thinking about THAT at all? I don't want to be living in your mom's home for that much longer. There's a nice apartment area that will base our rent off of income. Oh, but they aren't pet friendly, so that's out the window. Because your cunt dog (YES, I ACTUALLY SAID THE C-WORD, THE WORD I HATE THE MOST. THAT'S HOW MUCH I DON'T GIVE A FUCK ABOUT THE DOG! HE CAN LIVE WITH YOUR MUM UNTIL WE CAN GET A BETTER PLACE TO LIVE, IS THAT SO BAD?) is so much more important than a living space for us. Good fucking grief. Anyway, the least you could do is put up with a visit to Washington with me and your son without being a dick about it. I feel like I deserve that after all I've put up with in the past year. OH ALSO: Who said we were going on a vaykay? LOL I can't see us being able to afford that kind of fun anytime soon.
"You need to move away from there. It's bad for your allergies and you're unhappy." I FUCKING KNOOOWWW. MOM, IT'S NOT THAT EASY, OH MY GAWD. AGAIN, I DON'T HAVE MEANS TO JUST GET AWAY FROM STUPID ONTARIO. I NEED MONEY FOR THAT.
"You need to dust, you need to get rid of those cobwebs, you should get rid of those weapons, you should move those boxes, you need to do this differently, you have to do that or else blah blah blah." Mrs. Peter's Mom, I love you and I appreciate your wise advice, but... I KNOW. If I haven't done anything yet, it's because I haven't GOTTEN TO IT. If you hadn't noticed, I'm so pregnant that I can barely handle standing in the kitchen without getting dizzy and out of breath. >:[ I have to work at my own pace. Also, don't tell me and Peter what to do. It's our baby, we decide what's best for him, NOT YOU. If we need help, we'll fucking ask.
"Has the baby arrived yet? Are you having the baby? When's that baby coming? 8D" ... I'm getting so sick of those questions from our families. *pulls at her hair* We'll tell you all when something happens, good fucking grief. OBVIOUSLY HE'S GOING TO BE LATE. THAT TENDS TO HAPPEN.
*Weeps in a corner while chewing on bacon jerky for comfort* I'm just... I just...
