Hey girl!

I know you probably read my blog and felt attacked. But I guess my blog was a reaction to feeling attacked by you! That does not mean that your opinion didn't matter to me! The reason I was hurt, was because it did!

I had gone so long thinking that when we talked we were friends. But it kinda hurt when you were just thinking that I was complaining. So, I'm still hurt over it, but I'm learning to let go.

I do need to be careful who I talk to. Regardless of whether it is you, or Heather, or whoever... I have come to understand that not everyone can handle honesty. I felt like Ms. Debbie was attacking me the other day because of me trying to be honest with her. Whereas, with Heather, honesty is the best policy! So, I'm still trying to navigate these dangerous waters of relationships myself, and I've been married into the family for 4 years, and known the family for 5!

You said you felt like you weren't a part of the family. I think that you are more a part of it than I am:

- you're white
- you're a size 0
- you have a grandchild that you've provided them.
- Ms. Debbie has taken you "under her wing" as she puts it; which she never did me when I needed it. We just went through a whole period of "let's be nice to each other and sweep everything under the rug" kind of relationship, which is still how I feel she wants ours to be.
- If they called you once a week, that would be more times in a month than they called me! lol:O)

So, if you think you're the only one, here I am 5 years down the road in the same boat! lol:O)

I think the biggest problem with me is that my family is not here. I mean, don't get me wrong, I can't not love Jason's family. But, if mine was around, I'd be there! I can't speak for how you're feeling, but do you miss your mom? Maybe that could be adding to how you're feeling.

I sometimes feel like I am too involved in the church stuff too! Jason distances himself from so many things, and I think it helps him stay away from all these problems to a large extent.I guess I'll have to learn my lesson the hard way...let's say 30-something years? lol:O) It's not really that though, I do enjoy being involved. I just don't like being attacked, and having to constantly be on my guard.

I felt the same way this evening at the knight's meeting. If Heather had not worn her cross, Ms.Debbie would have either pulled her aside and talked to her quietly or not said anything at all. But with me, she had to pull me up in front of everyone. I feel like she has doubl standards all the time! and I constantly feel on edge with her. But...oh well, I'm sorry, I think you know what's been on my mind all evening now, which I what I was upset about through the whole dance and the rest of my evening after a wonderful beginning.

I'm just so frustrated too! Sometimes I just want to packmy bags and go home like I was originally supposed to do after college!
