Re: Pet Peeve #1
I do not mean to say *poor me*. Nothing of the kind. I did not feel less loved. Mom never grew up, and never saw the need.
Brother #2 and I were basically on the same page emotionally with the family dynamics. Brother # 2 was the family scape goat. I was the family peacemaker.
What pissed me off was was good is it to do your best? Who really gives a shit? If it SWOOSHES over your own mother's head....and the Dad never noticed. Taught me a valuable life lesson.
