Email Tears

I just got an email from my youngest sister, saying that she received and email (love technology) saying my other sister (the pregnant one) was not at her desk and she has been crying for hours on end and blah, blah, blah, so I gave her a call. I asked how she was and automatically she burst into tears. From what I can gather, she has split up with Mark, because she doesn’t love him anymore (I believe she is being hormonal), and that he is never around, indeed she has not seen him for weeks on end, and when she does, he is off his face (wonderful if I didn’t feel like I was born in a trailer park, I do now!), she said he doesn’t want to be with her if they aren’t ‘together’. She doesn’t want him as a partner just as a father, and that he isn’t happy with that. God it’s giving me a head ache. So I spoke to her for an hour and tried to remedy some things, and give her a couple of courses of action, but she shouldn’t really expect much change until the baby has been born.

I don’t know but I would think that having a new born baby shoved in your face is some what of a life changing experience.

Needless to say Mum and Dad wont be hearing about this.

The boss’s birthday party last night was not as bad as I thought it was going to be. As per usual it was at the Tryst, I came down with a major case of nausea before I had to go and almost cancelled on him, but he in his passive aggressive persuasion didn’t give me a choice. I don’t drink, but he does, so does Ben a lot, and well most the other people that he knows do – a lot. I don’t like being around drunken people, but he is worse! When he has been drinking, my patients are stretched to the limit. But there were a few people there that I knew, that didn’t / weren’t drinking so I stuck with them most the night and we had fun with our sobriety.

I have to do it all again tonight.

I beleive in sibling loyalty… to the exclusion of parents if needed… so I respect you for not leaking info to your parents. why worry them, eh?

random noter** Being the only sober person in a room full of drunks is bad, but being the only drunk person in a room full of sober people is worse. I hope your sister figures things out with her boyfriend…or whatever he is. Hopefully he’ll straighten up when the baby is born.

I was under the impression that your sister was married. I must have missed something. Maybe the boyfriend is getting the jitters thinking that she’s going to being pushing him to get married after the baby arrives. Ot maybe he thinks she’s going to take big chunks from his wallet. Either one is enough to scare off most straight guys. She’ll be okay once the baby is born.
