lmao it's the holiday season which means it's bitching under read mores season
lmao SOOO i told my grandmother, idk, a week or two ago that i was tentatively planning to come home on the monday or tuesday before thanksgiving. i.e. today or tomorrow. but when we talked saturday i told her i was planning tuesday, because i had work i needed to get done for grad school before i came home.
so she called me like five minutes after i woke up this morning and was like "hey what time are you leaving? i want pizza!" because that's a thing, she just like refuses to order takeout when i'm not there, despite the fact she very much knows how to do it, and then constantly holds that over me like "i can't wait for you to come home so i can eat out again" like *I* am the one holding her back from that.
ANYWAYYY i was like "no, remember i'm coming back tomorrow" and she got all huffy like "i just thought you would change your mind" and acted like a bratty teenager for the rest of the phone call and abruptly hung up on me
so thanksgiving is going to be fun this year 🤪
idk back when we had that fight in... june or july? my therapist said it sounds a lot like my grandmother might have borderline personality disorder, and i read into it and it does make sense, so i am trying to be more patient, because i really do love my grandmother, she has done sooo much for me and i don't want to completely not speak to her, especially if she's doing a lot of this because of a mental illness that isn't her fault.
but it's just like. she keeps pushing away her other kids (i am essentially her kid too since she raised me more than my mother did lmao, pretty much the entire extended family has decided this). some for valid reasons (my mother is the devil, my one uncle has a wife who is arguably even worse than my mother and he enables her) but some for absolute bullshit reasons (she barely speaks to my one aunt because she dared to suggest my grandmother see a therapist lmao), so she just puts more and more of her need to be needed onto me and like. it's just really hard bc a lot of the time i can't tell what she's doing out of genuine concern and care vs. what she's doing just because she doesn't want to be alone. and it just really sucks because my mother also has an agenda literally every time she speaks to me (which is almost never) and like. could one parental figure maybe just be nice to me because they care and no other reason lmao. doesn't feel good y'all.
anyway i'm semi-seriously considering entering the dating scene solely for the reason of having an excuse to not go home for the holidays lmao. or just making up a fake significant other. or maybe i'll find other people avoiding their families on thanksgiving and plan a trip, like to new york to see the macy's thanksgiving day parade or something.
