Problems on the homefront (long)
Sooo... you all remember that K and I have moved to Atlanta right. We moved because K was offered a promotion at the company she works for and the fact that my mom lives here. We found a nice house that is plenty big enough for the 3 of us. The problem?? Well where do I start? K just lost her job (actually the transfer fell through a week after we got here) because they can't afford to keep her because the Atlanta store is not doing so well, K has been jobless for 2 months now, so of course that suks as is. My mom is starting to get weird about K and my relationship again. When we moved here she said she was willing to accept K into the family. But I think that seeing us together all of the time is a bit of a reality check. She has trouble with the fact that ANY decisions I make I run them by K first. She doesn't understand why we "spend so much time together". Ummm we're married!!!! So now I don't know what to do. My sister ( who is renting us the house) says if we decide to move out she'll let my mom stay and not have to pay much rent. Cuz at this point we're seriously considering moving.
Oh! one other thing. K got a call from the NYC branch of her company. They know about what happened with her transfer and want to know if she wants to come back... with the same promotion the ATL branch screwed her with. So she wants to CONSIDER moving back. Why on earth did I mention this to my mom? She flipped She says " So if she moves back does that mean you're going too?" I said "of course". Then I spill my guts saying that maybe it was a mistake to move so soon cuz everything fell apart. She says " No, the mistake you made was choosing to live the life you live now (meaning being a lesbian). Now you have to make decisions that hurt everybody"... WTF

Sorry to hear you are going through this. Sounds like you mom needs a wake up call. Hope things get better soon.

I am so sorry.
Losing a job is so stressful for everyone and I am sure your mom's comments don't help at all. I hope everything gets resolved quickly.
