It has been a pretty stressful couple of weeks here in the heartland. Family issues have raised their ugly head yet again and somehow everyone is just supposed to "grin and bear it" and I just can't help but wonder how much can anyone possibly endure.
I know we do lots of things for family members. Take granny to appointments, grocery store, etc. Help mom clean out the closets, pack up old trinkets and childhood treasures. Maybe even, (as in the novel I just finished reading) consider hosting a sibling's embryo in your own uterus (something I would NEVER do, BTW). But isn't there a line SOMEWHERE???????
I'm thinking maybe it's at the point where a family member tries to have you arrested or the point where it sure seems like the member committing the offenses KNOWS what they are doing. It is completely understandable that the cheek must be turned and the offense overlooked occasionally....but COME ON!
Oh, well. I guess for now, I'll continue to sit on my hands and look the other way. It's probably better I keep my mouth shut anyway and keep my place secure on the"blacklist".

OH MY GOD! I am so glad that I'm not the only one on the "blacklist"... we have the same problems here. My favorite thing is how no one wants to talk about them, like it never happened??!!! WHAT??!! It is so weird. Oh, well, I always say, "You can pick your friends, but you can't pick your family!" ASB
