Can I have a minute of mourning?
I was driving home from dropping the kids off with their dad when my dad called and told me my grandma died. It's a good thing I was pulling in the driveway - the entire conversation went like this "Hello?" "Hi, we just got a call, your grandma died." I started to cry. Then he said "Well, it's for the best. I have more people to call." and he hung up.
Seriously? I know he hadn't seen eye to eye with her for many years, but I had been close with her, hell, I lived with her on and off throughout childhood. And that's the support I get from my father.
So I come inside, breakdown, Redneck gives me a hug, says he's sorry, and then immediately asks me to look over these child support papers, and type up a response. I lost it - he has 20 days to file a response, and my grandmother just died. Give me a minute to mourn before taking on your problems.
OK, end of vent.
Re: Can I have a minute of mourning?
Wendi I'm sorry to hear about losing your grandma. I'm even more sorry to hear that you just can't mourn in peace without having to tend to other things. If possible try to escape, even if it means just going for a walk. That way you're alone and can deal. Hugs!
