Cue the hysteria
My uncle, whom I haven’t seen in at least a decade called my husbands phone yesterday. He was trying to track me down, and apparently my brother only had The Colonels number. That right there out to be a big, fat clue about how “close” we all are. So what did uncle want? He wanted a conference call to decide what retirement home we should put my mother in. Uncle told The Colonel that he thought I should “take the lead in that” 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Yeah. No.
I had been napping, so when I tried to call him back after an hour, I got his answering machine. Probably for the best. I left him a nervous, rambling message that I absolutely refuse to be in that discussion. I told him that he could discuss it all he wants with my brothers, but to leave me out of it. I haven’t heard anything from anyone yet.
The thing is, mother has already been talking to me about an assisted living facility. She’s making good decisions and been very proactive about her needs. So that’s one thing. The other is I really fucking don’t want anything to do with my family. I’m also in kind of a very bad place in my life and I just can’t handle anything more. I’ve even given up driving for the most part. I’ve said it before, and I’ll keep saying it, if it weren’t for my art and the fandom community, I would just give up.
