OK...I need to vent...or sigh...or something....

I had a family gathering ALL DAY today...which I survived and I really enjoy this particular get together every year...I am very close with my family most times...

I don't drink...it is a choice I make..every day...some days it is easier than others...read into that what you will...my family is aware of this...and I would never expect them to curb their activities around my choice...it doesn't bother me...

But tonight...someone actually WAVED it in front of my face...as some big joke..(he was drunk)...then proceeded to gulp down half a bottle...and breath it on me...intentionally...WHAT IS THAT! in less than .3 seconds, half of me wanted to pour it on his head...the other...drink it...

I'm just angry at the situation, myself, and just a general mess right now and needed to let it out...

I understand, and empathize, believe me.

Last month I spent a week with a family that felt they could drink away the loss of our mother. And they wondered why they were getting more depressed. Since I was the only one that could think, I had to keep things (and them) together. It was a long week.

Makes me wonder about people ..

Thank you Robert... I guess we can only be responsible for our own actions...and here I am talking to you fine people...

I am very sorry to hear of your loss...

Stay strong and focused and get it out physicall if you need to, jogging, punching bag , whatever

I can sympathise,

i spent 2 years of my life in a blur never knowing really where i was.
had many successes pass me by and many hardships fall in my lap or wherever...

maybe others who do not understand will say ...good job.

Me i shall say... proud of you and you should be too.
Wonderful Job

i was fortunate...my ordeal was choice and not that of need... sometimes even when it is for the good we seem to try to cover the past.

You are a strong Woman to have made it this far... why let a lesser person take that away from you.

Be well, and be proud

Hes a jerk, and you can tell him I said so.

One should respect believes, life style, choices, thier opinions, or what ever else an individual chooses.

We are all different, if we were all the same it would be a boring world.

"Shake it Off" Live your Life

But you did not pour it on his head, nor did you drink it. You did not sink to his level, nor did you compromise yourself. You came out the winner in that conflict. There are people like that whom test you all the time. It is even worse with family, for they should be the ones supporting you.

I hate the excuse that they were drunk!

He felt threatened because you were still sober and he was not. Trying to force you down a notch, or several.

Had you given into your anger or your desire, you would have been on his level. You took the higher path.

Thank you ALL SOOOOO MUCH for your kind words....

Well thank goodness you know when to fold babes cause if I were there, I would have gotten the bottle for you to pour all over him. I Probably would of had a shot myself before doing so but, I don’t drink and drive.

You once again prevailed ! Way to go.

A person defines themselves everyday in so many ways.

Anytime a person is trying to improve themselves then I have respect for them.

The harder the struggle the more I have respect for their efforts.


Some people don't want others to improve because it takes away their excuses and they feel inferior.

So They act like horses butts and make fun of someone or tries to break them down.

In such cases they have the problem.

There is an old saying, "If someone tries to give you a gift, if you refuse it, then it still belongs to them."

You let them keep their gift.

Good for you!

I clicked the wrong reply again!

Seasons Greetings Hun

Hey leggs, long time no chat. Family is family and sometimes they do and say dumb things. I am sure he didn't mean it, he was just holiday boozing. He will pay for it in the morning, if that makes you feel any better...

Agreed, Robert - booze just makes depressing occasions that much more depressing. You just have to work that much harder to keep yourself and others afloat.

Now peyote or magic mushrooms...that's a whole 'nother story.

I don't know what that situation feels like, and i can only imagine...and i'm sorry hug:

I have yet to go to my family's for dinner tonight....and i'm not looking forward to it...its when they get to huddle around me and pet me and feel sorry that i have "no husband" and i'm so strong to keep going for my kids etc etc....

I know they mean well...but i really hate the "pity party"....I don't want to be constantly reminded of my state of affairs....my children are fine..and i am happy and content with the decisions i have made...I just want them to accept my life the way it is....

Well, if someone had pulled a stunt like that on me.

I would have taught them a lesson they wouldn't forget in an hurry.

I'd have poured the other half over their heads, then cracked them with the empty bottle then kicked them where it hurts
