Just when I think that things are starting to fall into place, my family has some sort of sadistic intervention for me. Odd thing was I was not there, instead they all sat around and bitched about me and what a mess my life is. They went as far as saying that I am an alcoholic. They are all married with their own families and have nothing better to do than sit around and bash me all day. Mom said that they are concerned, my ass! If they were concerned about me they should have come and talked to me. Not send my Mom into my job, while I was busy to let me know that they all thought I was mean to them! I feel like I am more stable in my life right now than I have ever been. I bought my own house and live just fine all on my own. They have decided that I need to find some direction to my life! WTF! Seems to me they all need to find hobbies! I am single and happen to have friends that work at the bar, I go in to see them. Half the time I don't even drink, but it is none of their business. They also said that I fake my migraine headaches. I have never wished these horrid headaches on anyone but I would really like them to experience one. Then tell me they are not that bad! They even went as far as questioning the guy that I am seeing. Once again WTF! I am the oldest and have done quite well on my own, I want them to leave me the hell alone! I love my family, I just don't really like them right now.
I left work crying my eyes out. I went to the bar to talk it out with T and see if she could make any sense of this crazy shit. I was pretty upset when Philly came in as I ranted and raved about these jerks I am related to. Later when I had settled down a bit Philly and I were a bit cuddled up and he said something that left me speechless: "Just seeing you brings exuberance into my life." There is more but that is the most beautiful thing that anyone has ever said to me. I was stunned for about 2 minutes, I just shook my head. He asked what was wrong and I told him that I didn't know what to say. He said that I didn't need to day anything, he just wanted me to know what he thought.
Obviously I have a thing for alcohol and complexity.-V

It can be so hard when your family doesn't understand where you are, and can really make you feel pressured. I'm sure their concern is well meant, if frustrating.
Keep smiling V, sounds like you're on a bit of an emotional rollercoaster at the moment. It's worth stepping back every now and then and checking with yourself that you are making yourself happy in the bigger picture, as it's easy to get caught up in the moment to moment.
