My Delusions > Exended Family Every Time


HerNameIsBuffy

1,133 views

I haven't had any contact with my mom's family since she died in the mid-90s, unless you count getting Happy Insert Holiday here message from her sister and my liking it when I eventually log in if I see it.

But aside from that deep bond, nothing.  Every so often some busybody part of my brain nudges me to send a note to her brother and his wife.  They were the closest to my mom and sometimes I have this annoying longing for contact with people who knew and loved her.

I'm usually pretty good at ignoring the Gladys Kravitz part of my interfering psyche and eventually it shuts up until next time.  But this time I took it a step further and asked professor google if they were still alive and if so where would one send a note if one were so inclined.  

Gladys ran with the leeway and found the info...but I slammed the door shut again so there will be no cute Thinking of You card with a cute dog and fun font making it's way to them.

Because of the usual reasons of common sense and well developed introversion?  Nah...

My cousin closest to me in age looks way better than I, and I don't need that kind of aggravation.  I'm so glad she documented her perfect life on Facebook as it stopped me from opening a door that should stay nailed shut.

And I am nothing if not insightful...

I'm way too okay with this part of me.

Yep, sometimes it’s just better to leave people from your past in the past....and if they look way better than you, then that’s an added reason.

Looks can be very deceiving when it comes to social media. Some people work really hard to sell you a story about their perfect lives, when the reality is far from the image they try to sell you. I would bet you any amount of money that her life is not nearly as perfect as she shows in her carefully edited pictures and posts.

      The second to last slide sounds like no sexy times for a while between kids. 

      It could be that too. Either she doesn’t want to talk about how she won’t have sex with her husband for months after birth or she doesn’t want to talk about pulling out. Because both of those things could be looked down upon by other fundies in her circle.

      The compound seems to be in the middle of nowhere. I doubt they're anywhere near a hospital. And I could see arrogant Allison refusing transfer of herself or the baby. 

      She always said that she and Chelsy were best friends. But now they live so far from one another. You would think that her supposed best friend sister having such difficult births would give her pause. But I guess not. 

      I think this is Allison’s way of saying she doesn’t want to talk about her husband pulling out sometimes 🤣

      My cousin had a child who went too overdue. He was born with meconium aspiration and was in the NICU for awhile. If her child did go way overdue and had meconium aspiration and ended up in the NICU, I’m pretty positive she wouldn’t admit she made the wrong choice. Chelsy used to be like that too. Then she had Madeline 10 weeks early. I think Chelsy is still into the woo but has realized modern medicine can be wonderful for the health of your baby. Allison won’t always be this lucky. I just hope she’s very close to a hospital.

      I guess I was wrong that maybe Alison would be better equipped to handle 3 kids in 4 years since she was going on 30. There are fundies 5 years younger than her and push out that many kids in such a short time span, but at least have the sense to see doctors and go to a hospital for the birth.

      So is the Bahamas becoming a hot spot for Fundies to go on their honeymoon? I think that is where Josie and Kelton Balka went. Then her brother, Nathan, and Esther went there IIRC
