My stepmom's in the hospital. Again.

She's really sick.

And here I am worried that I'll have to skip Smith this weekend and fly out there.

I want Holly to meet her, and I want her to get better and I want to not have all this bad shit between us but I don't know if any of that will happen or how to make it so.

Don't let yourself feel guilty because you're not sick. When my aunt was really ill, i worried about how it would affect my plans too, and i felt guilty about thinking that. i knew my plans weren't as important, but i thought about it anyway. don't let yourself feel guilty for your feelings. that's all i have to say, and sorry if it seems irrelevent to you. its just my little advice.
hopefully i'll see you soon.

my advice(for what it's worth):
let things go. be the grown up one. decide what's really important, and forget the stuff that's not.

i love you. i hope i see you this weekend. let me know if you're not going. i'm all coldy and won't go if you won't be there.

:-) Thanks Is. Hey, we should get together or something.

Re:

I've been the "grown up one" for a long time. And hey! If no one else wants to protect you, you get to do it yourself. Whatever. They (my parent-types...all four) are a bunch of idiots sometimes. I mean, I feel like I, at 20, know better how to act in personal relationships than they do.

Whatever.

i know you're the grown up one. i just don't want you to forget it. all i meant was that you might have to decided that some things that are between you aren't worth fighting about, even if she's not ready to let them go.

Re:

[masscooper.livejournal.com]

It's not like that. I'm prepared to let it go...on my own. I'm prepared to forgive her. I'm *not* prepared to let the stuff with my *mom* go.

Cuz hey, she's still here.

Re:

[masscooper.livejournal.com]

Yay!

Re:

[chimneychild.livejournal.com]

that's fair.
but just to play devil's advcate.... why does it take a life threatening illness to make you get over some things sooner?

Re:

[izzybelly.livejournal.com]

hmmm...tomorrow's art's fest so i'm pretty free. i think the only workshop i want to go to ends at..11:20. i can't stand to go to "jewish crafts" sponsored by JSA. so yeah, anytime after that.

Because you get to pretend that the problem will disappear over time, not the person.

i'm missing a point on my star

[eveandodd.livejournal.com]

Ahh, dreidle making.

::thinks about other jewish crafts::

Re: i'm missing a point on my star

[izzybelly.livejournal.com]

I don't know, but i'm scared of JSA members, and i am so uncrafty i might get a stroke if forced to decorate menoras.

Re:

Because some things are not forgiveable in a healthy person.

Re:

[masscooper.livejournal.com]

Re:

bah

Re:

[chimneychild.livejournal.com]

you're right.
my point: why wait for things to get better over time, if you can make them better now?
easier said than done

Re:

[masscooper.livejournal.com]

::sigh:: I know you mean well, but it's not that simple. It never is, and anyway, you know about my family.

Re:

[chimneychild.livejournal.com]
