Hello Jello

Goodbye Pudding

My family found out everything.

Crap.

I really didn’t want this to happen. My family likes to gossip about everything and everyone. I didn’t really mind them knowing that we broke up I just didn’t want them to know everything. I told J about how I didn’t want my family knowing about the army reserve thing and he didn’t get it at first. I had to explain to him all the things I thought would happen and he thought I was exaggerating. I kind of hoped that I was, but I figured if I didn’t tell my family then I wouldn’t have to find out. Today my sister called me because she was on facebook and saw that I had changed my status to single. I told her we broke up and that we both decided to, but she kept bugging me to tell her why. Finally I just wanted her to stop bugging me about it so I told her that we both decided to break up and he joined the army reserve. She then decided to go all psycho. She asked me if he had a facebook and I told her no. She said that if he did then she would have yelled at him in a message on facebook. Seriously. You suck S. Then she  told me that it was good that we broke up because he would have either gotten me pregnant or he would cheat on me. If that is your way of being a good sister and making me feel better you suck at it. I explained to her that J and I still talked for a little bit before we left and were like friends and even after that she said rude things about him. I don’t think I have ever been this way about any of her friends or A.

Dear S, You are a rude judgmental person. I don’t care how awsome the New Year’s party might be, I don’t think I can go with you. Also, he was always really really nice to you and everyone else. Just because I break up with him is not an excuse to be mean to him. I plan on hanging out with him when he is home. I really think you should be nice.

I ended up calling my mom after I got off the phone with S. I told her about how mean S was and that I didn’t think it was right that she would be so rude and how I really didn’t want to talk about it when I come home for Thanksgiving. I know S is going to tell A (her fiance) and he will insist on giving his opinion. I told my mom that if either of them say anything to me about it I might end up yelling at them and I really didn’t want her to yell at me for it. She said okay. She said she would talk to S and tell her not to bring it up. Even if she talks to S i’m still not sure about A. When I was on the phone with my sister A was there playing with Bella (their dog). I am 100% positive that as soon as she got off the phone she was discussing it with A and they were saying rude bad things. (I’m not being overly dramatic. They are very judgemental. Ex: Poor people are that way because they don’t try to not be poor. We had a conversation about this for about 30 minutes and my mom, grandma, and I couldn’t convince them otherwise.) Even if my mom talks to S and tells her not to say anything she will probably listen, but A won’t. He always has to give his opinion on everything.

I really want Thanksgiving to be good. Right now all I can think is that it will be horrible and I am going to end up arguing with my sister and A. Everyhing I had hoped I was exagerating about happened seems to have happened. Now i’m nervous about what might happen during break when I go home. I don’t care how much anyone bugs me thanks to how S reacted I am not telling anyone anything about this.

*I know this is kind of long, but if you stumble upon this and read it I think it would be really awesome of you to leave me some sort of comment that is either an entertaining story, joke, convince me Thanksgiving won’t suck, or say something that could make me feel better. It would be really really super awesome if you could do that.

  1. Does your sister know ANYTHING about the Army Reserve? It’s only one weekend a month and two weeks a year, right?

    Even if it’s not, shame on her for being non-supportive. Joining the forces is one of the most courageous things that any man or woman in this country can do. Plus, it’s not like in the movies where they’re out drinking and screwing around with women all the time. They can’t do ANYTHING like that.

    No matter how someone feel about our country right now, or the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, if they don’t support and respect the brave souls that volunteer their lives in support of our great nation, then they don’t deserve to live here.

    If anyone I knew said to me what your sis said to you, I would have slapped the s**t outta them.

    I guess I’ll step off my soapbox now. Save your battles with her for another day, and just focus on ejoying your family on Thanksgiving.

  2. Hey,

    I am hoping your sister just loves and supports you so much that she became defensive and went on the attack out of loyalty to you.

    To cheer you up, I suggest the movie Home For The Holidays with Holly Hunter. It is so funny, and takes place during Thanksgiving.
