That sounds like someone you just don’t need to be spending time with right now! Obviously difficult if it’s a family member, but if it’s a friend I’d try to take a break!
I totally agree that venting is absolutely necessary sometimes, obviously in a nice way! It might not get us anywhere, or change the other persons view, but at least you’ve got it out there and made your point. Sorry that you are feeling sad about this situation. I hope that things get better for you soon. Remember you’re always welcome to vent on here anytime. Be kind to yourself today 💕 |

Aww thank you. I’ve always tried to be kind, that’s the main foundation of who I am. I could never ever shut someone down who was opening up to me the way I’ve been shut down from some people because I like to think if someone wants to open to you, then they must trust you. It’s so true though, some people are just takers, they just want sympathy when they’re upset, but heaven forbid anyone else might need some, but thankfully there are other lovely people in the world instead. 💜

It’s the MIL so not too easy to escape from, but I will be putting in some distance, which I have done before. It’s been like this for over five years so I’ve kind of accepted I’ll never change them, but I will continue to try and educate them.
My thinking of it is, if these are her views, then fair enough, but she should keep them to herself and just nod and listen when someone vents. If they secretly think that someone is being dramatic because other people have it worse, then that’s their prerogative, but they should keep them thoughts to themselves instead of being callous. I find it incredibly frustrating, but I’ll retaliate by being incredibly kind, as I always try to be no matter what my own feelings as that’s all you can do really. Thank you, that is kind of you.🥰 |

Good luck with the interviews, they sound very varied and interesting.
I’ve totally struggled this week with the Covid lockdowns and restrictions and the huge step backwards into high case numbers again. It’s Georgia’s birthday next week and I can’t visit her or have her home for a visit. It’s my birthday the week after and I feel restaurants etc will be closed by then so there will be no birthday celebrations for me this year. The rumours of the circuit break lockdown worries me, but as we can’t leave our small area anyway, I don’t know if it makes any difference. I just want to see my kids 😢 |

It’s so frustrating isn’t it. I always try to put myself in other’s shoes to try and understand their actions, but I do struggle with this one. I think I’ve given up on it to be honest. I’ll be kind, but I will be keeping distance and I won’t be initiating contact for a long time. Thank you, you too!🥰
