About a month ago I deleted all my family associated with my mom’s side of the family. I have no regrets about that all. They’ve made their stance on what I am to the family a long time ago.
I feel a lot freer after that.
Well the other day while waiting at the doctor’s office I took it further. The real final cut.
I’ve deleted all their phone numbers from my land line and my cell phone.
Since I don’t pick up the phone and answer it unless I know the number, that mean’s their numbers won’t be known or answered. Not that they’ve called. Unless it’s was an emergency or they needed something from me, they never did. I always had to make the calls. They’d get irrationally mad at me if I didn’t call once a day (mostly mom). But since she got sick and has since died. I only ever heard from them 4 times….. in 4 years. And that was they needed something an to let me know she was gone.
I don’t need their shit on top of everything else I have going on.
I’m much better off.

Oh yeah by the way.... for those of you who don't know my psych doc said she thinks it's a good idea if I could get a pet. So I asked my landlord and she said YES...
So in a few months when an old friend of our's cat has her kittens we're getting first pick, and they're going to arrange transportation to get the kitty here.
I'm so excited.
