Toxic is the right word. I HAVE to step away. It stresses me out. I can't change them. I can be here for the kids should they decide to be stand up individuals and make their father proud. Otherwise, I can't be involved.
It's funny but I STILL hear my fathers voice in my head. He's been gone for 19 years but I still hear Ramsey.... I still strive to make my parents proud of me and to honor them.

Damn straight. It's about time you got that through your big hair.
I'm somewhat sick of people that get twisted up about nothing but damn, they're funny to watch sometimes. I was driving in a parking lot with my son yesterday and I came to sort of a T with another car. The woman wanted to turn in to the lane I was pulling out of and she looked at me with this angry/harried face and I could see her mouth the word "
GO!!!!!". I could see I had gotten under her skin so I just chose to sit there of course. The next word we watched her mouth very clearly was "
BITCH!!!!!".
I burst out laughing. That was some fun mocking right there.
People rage about the stupidest things.

I did that once to a lady behind me at the drop off mail box at the post office. I spent a few extra seconds to put stamps on some envelopes and she started honking at me and I could see her bitching in my side view mirror. So I was like fuck you lady, I'm gonna drop my mail in the box and sit here for an extra minute just to piss you off even more.
Another time my husband was trying to squeeze into a lane and the lady looked at him and said fuck you lol. Like it would have killed her to just let him in.

The more somebody pushes me in any given direction, the more likely I am to do the exact opposite of what they want.
A woman I know just this afternoon chastised me for not calling her back in a timely manner (even though what she wants from me is to go to her house and help her figure out how to work some new blood sugar testing equipment she got). I'd have more fun poking my own eyes with needles but I was going to do it today. I guess she didn't like my lack of a quick response nor the fact that I wasn't going to be on her doorstep EXACTLY at the time we planned yesterday.
I told her I only talk to my own mother every few weeks; i don't want to talk 2-3 times a day for fucks sake.
Anyway, I blocked her on my phone. Fuck her. Pathetic bitch is going to fall all over herself apologizing now and I really don't want to hear it.

Is that the handicapped lady you found somewhere and got stuck helping her out?

Yeah. I do too much for her. Her laundry, helping her all the time with errands and other things. She'd suck me dry if I didn't establish some boundaries with her. Tonight is a "you're asking too much from me/back the hell off" night.

I can relate to that and I've often said the quickest way to get me to do something is to tell me not to.
