And yanno what?
I don't care. At all.
Here's the thing -- a few weeks back I had a problem that I had checked out at the ER. I also followed up on it with my doc.
I'm real sorry now I even mentioned anything about this problem to this one particular aunt. Here's what happened:
About 3 days after I spoke with her about the problem, she pulls up in front of my house. I was on my way out to pick up groceries and to be quite frank, I really didn't want to talk to her. I felt like she asked me too many questions when I initially told her what happened to me.
She wants to know where I'm going. I told her I was on my way out to the doc's.
Well, the portals of hell sure opened up on this one! She starts in with the questions -- and sorry, I felt like she was prying and talking down to me.
And she's asking me the same bleeping questions she asked me when I initially mentioned the problem! wtf??? doe she think she's gonna catch me in a lie or something like that?
I cut her short in the middle of the second question and yep, you bet I was pissed. I said to her, "Didn't you ask me these questions the other night? I believe we already discussed this part of what was going on..."
"What's the name of your doctor?"
I saw red, purple green blue AND orange! I said to her, "Look, I don't think it makes a great big difference if I told you who it was. You don't know the practitioner anyway; you do not live in this county." And wow, she said nothing to this.
I told her I had to get going, she said goodbye and she left.
That was 21/2 weeks ago. I ain't heard a peep out of her.
Concern is one thing, but when you feel like somebody is prying and going over boundaries trying to get info? Then they probably are.
Another thing I am po'd at for: she seems to think my information is PUBLIC information to pretty much anyone. I found out through bro that Aunt's pretty much disclosed everthing I said to his ex-FI (that in itself is a very weird situation that is still going on; I posted about this one) Again, It's not a case of "Gee, xFI, I'm kind of worried about Zelda; here's what's happening..." This isn't the first time she's pulled this kind of full disclosure -- Aunt did it back in January, also -- evidently she doesn't believe in confidentiality. (bro and she were breaking up at the time; she repeated pretty much everything I said to the then-FI.)
How does Aunt know that maybe I do not want xFI knowing about what's going on with me? and don't you know how to keep your mouth plain ole shut when you're supposed to? Evidently not.
(this is why my nickname for Aunt is 1010WINS -- you know, all news all the time...and not just on the ones or the fives, either)
I just don't get Aunt at all. She makes herself scarce at certain times -- all of last winter was when she pulled that on me, when my marriage was falling apart and I was dumb enough to confide in her -- this is the same aunt that gave me advice like "Don't press too hard or you will drive your H. away" and "Pay for everything in that house like your H. is not there." (uh, at the time, the H.'s paycheck was unaccountable for by me and he would NOT contribute to the household expenses, thusly leaving it up to me to foot the bill here on everything. So "pay for everything like your H. is not here" is kinda sorta POOR ADVICE) I had to call her -- try she should have been calling me out of concern FIRST. That's my take on it anyway. Thanks a lot for further leading to my isolation.
She makes herself scarce when she should not...and at other times when shit is just plain ole NOT her business? WOW, she's right on you with more questions than a Congressional Hearing!
So I guess she is really pissed. I just had to get this off my chest.
