God, It's Amazing

My dad, Ava and I stopped by the hospital today for a few hours. Carianne is doing really well...Mum and Rolf hinted that if the medication continues to work well and Carianne's hemoglobin continues to go up they could be home this week! She seems like her old self, my mom has definitely lost weight, and Rolf has not shaved. It's weird.

Anyway...it's so amazing how many family members who normally don't give a shit about my family have like rallied around us suddenly. The Germans, who are notorious for giving us five dollar gift cards to Dunkin Donuts and money stuffed in socks for Christmas have been to visit a million times. The Italians, who don't talk to us all year because they're rich snobs and have a niece/granddaughter that's a model....are suddenly like obsessed with us.

It really pisses me off, you know? Like if you're not going to bother to associate with us all year, then why the hell bother to even call now? Because a kid you honestly don't give a shit about is sick? Leave her to the people who would sacrifice themselves for her, and stop being fake f*** offs. And what's even worse is the way they treat my boyfriend. A little respect would be nice. These people are always much nicer to me and my sister than they ever are to my parents (the Italians, anyway) when we're around them and suddenly we're like their favourite part of the family.

What hurts, though, and this is in no way my sister's fault....is that I KNOW these people would not come to visit me, or even call to check on my mom and dad...if I went to the psychiatric hospital for a suicide attempt (God forbid). The Germans are closer to us than the Italians are (like I said, they don't associate with us because they're rich snobs and we're working class yokels) and ever since I was a young teenager and my bipolar started to show they've treated me with nothing but malice, frigidity, and ridicule. They'd be totally ashamed of me, and the Italians wouldn't even care. I am completely and totally resentful of them for it, and a little resentful of my parents for putting up with the treatment all these years.

I know they're my "relatives", but these people are full of crap.

Thats where we see the truth in the statement... "We can't choose our relatives... "

It seems I'm flipping the coin a lot tonight, but here goes... the sadness, I suppose, lies in their inability to understand. Folks get lost in a mindset and allow themselves not to see. they miss out on so much.

So, my question is, would you be more pissed if they (the Italians)
didn't come to see your sister in the hospital, or that they did ?

I am sorry that you have had that type of family experiences...hold close to you those you really care about and care about you.

Just passing through....leaving a hug

resentment is the root of all evil.......acceptance is the answer to all problems....We can't carry the weight of the world on our shoulders and we can't control the actions of others. Keep your side of the street clean, and when others finally figure out their own truths, they will come around and be genuine...

There are times when family starts to come together. You can fight all you want inside the family. Dislike all of them and they dislike you, but when it comes down to family, they rally around.
