Well, kind of a rough night for me.
My mother is in the hospital again, and I guess the rift between my sister and I is permanent. She was off work yesterday, and was to take my mother to a noontime doctor's appointment.
I tried calling a few times in the afternoon, as they should have been home fairly quickly, but I got no answer.
Finally, while I was driving home before six, she called me to say they were at the ER. She was very cold about it. Got home to find a note on the table, signed with her last name.
She came in later, sat down looking ugly. I told her I've had enough of this, and her response was the same as she has told my mother and other sister, I have changed, she doesn't know me anymore, I'm never home because I must hate them. Blah blah blah, same old garbage I've heard for two months now.
I have been trying to let things slide off my back, be polite to her, etc, but she just keeps blowing up at me. I had hope Christmas would be better, I bought her the new Microsoft tablet in the hopes she would like that.
I guess I'm just done with her, I have enough problems of my own without having to deal with her garbage.
I am going to go to the hospital later and see what is going on, my mother apparently was bleeding in her lower GI tract, and may have either a blood clot or infection in her leg.
So yes, I'm a little blue. I guess in life, you need to make out of it what you want. If she wants it this way, so be it, I'll just have to fill my life with someone and something else.

As my younger daughter said, about her sister's recent coldness when called about older's grandmother-in-law's recent heart attack, 'It is what it is.' I hope you (and she, my younger daughter) can not only let this stuff slide off your backs, but grow and thrive after doing so. I know how damaging this stuff can be.
and best to your mother.
Keep being true to you.
