synful soul
Not long ago I started a thread about fountains and drains and sited an elderly lady I speak to on the phone every day who is such a drain but I religiously ring her because she is alone. She depresses me so much with her negative attitude to everything in life.
Well this evening she has really upset me with her insensitivity and rudeness. I haven't posted anything about two of my lovely cats, one missing for 2 weeks, and the other one just home after 8 days away and still quite poorly, because we have had so much pussy cat sadness lately. I am pretty heartbroken to say the least.
This lady insists on going over every event in your life that seems even remotely distressful. She is like someone picking at a scab until it starts to bleed again.
Tonight she brought up the subject of Buster and Cat and went on and on and on, until in desperation I asked her to stop. She was very rude to me .
Foolishly I rang her back and told her how upset I was and how much she had upset me. I now feel quite ashamed of myself . she is in her 80's and I should know better than to react.
At the moment I feel I do not want to speak to her again....EVER....... and certainly do not want her here for the whole of Christmas. We have had her here for the last 20 years. I just do not want to be in her company.
I know I am overreacting and need to be more rational.
Oh help........what do I do.
