Name change for this.
I'm so fucking sick of being underestimated and/or misjudged by my family members.
I haven't lived near most of them for years and they only see me a handful of times a year but yet they feel as if they know me.
Over the past year I've become separated and not initially through choice (although I was happy that it happened) and my siblings are all apparently highly concerned about my future/whether I'll be ok/my dating prospects. Not concerned enough to ever text/phone to check how I am but concerned enough to discuss it amongst themselves and then blurt it out whilst drunk at a family gathering.
They all have pearls of wisdom to spout at me and yet none of them have actually stopped to ask me how I am. They all assumed I would be highly upset this New Year as it was the first on my own.
I had a great NYE - toasted my singledom with a champagne and a really happy, positive feeling about my new life. It was a really nice evening and one that made me very content.
Dating - absolutely fine. Have a nice prospect on the horizon and doing perfectly fine on my own, thank you very much! I don't feel the need to discuss it with my siblings as it's actually none of their bloody business.
Life prospects - got a good job with opportunities to earn more if I wish; got a house and can just about afford it on my own and have a nice life as I've pretty much been a single parent for years as I've had very little help/input from my ex.
I know I'll be ok and I know it's a good step forward but none of them have stopped to ask me.
I had such a ridiculous amount of bollocks thrown at me over the past few days. What I find hilarious is that I'm older by quite a bit and have done a lot that my siblings know nothing about yet they honestly believe they know me. It's laughable.
Anyone else dealt with sanctimonious fuckwits? How do you deal?
