So here I am in the blog world. I'm definitely not a blogger and definitely have nothing exciting to share, but having now deleted Facebook and Twitter, here I am. Just wanting a place to write my thoughts, so if you stumble upon this, I apologize that I'm pretty random, not always in the most positive of moods right now..and definitely have no clue what I'm doing.
Why did I erase my FB? B/c I am a 30-something year old woman who's divorced parents cannot get along. Yeah, sad at 30-something that THAT is a reason, but....
My parents divorced when I was 8. Both remarried and after being an only child, I gained brothers and sisters on both sides. I was closer to one side than another but never for one time in my life have I been upset about my parents being divorced. It just never had an impact on me. I had my step-dad for over 15 yrs and my step-mom for as long so far....
You would think as you got older your parents would get along ok enough. You. Would. Think.
My step-dad passed away 10 years ago. He wasn't a saint, but he was pretty close, and the peacekeeper. Since he's been gone I thought we had all gotten along ok.. Fast forward to tonight-I am going through something kinda personal and not having the easiest of times with it...my Mom calls and tells me she "sent a FB message to my step-mom saying thank you for being so supportive (of me) these past few days but she had been blocked"...I said of course that's not right, you're doing it wrong I'm sure, so I texted my Dad and step-mom and the next thing I know my Dad, step-sister and step-Mom are blowing up my phone saying " Why would she not be blocked...and all these bad feelings and things my Mom and step-Mom did/felt towards each other years ago.
Wait? Why would I think she wouldn't be blocked? Because we have all been FB friends for years. Oh, and because you're all fucking grown ups and are gonna call me and talk shit about each other. WhAt? Seriously? WHAT just happened here? Over FB?!?!
So here I am, having deleted mine and ignoring their calls. Because it's fucking FACEBOOK! And, to top it all off, thanks for all 3 of you for acting like children and making ME the only one that feels like shit over it.
Parents.
Welcome to my blog, ya'll.
