Some of you may remember that Nibsmother was one of the few members of my extended family who's been nasty to me since learning about my impending transition. She's flying up here the weekend of the 24th. Apparently, m'boy and Nibs were both on the phone with Nibsmother when she told them that, even though I'll be dogsitting for them one night, she doesn't want to see me at all.
My son called her a bitch.
I'm a little bit proud to say I had no trouble keeping a straight face as I told him that Nibsmother is still his grandmother and he doesn't get to talk to her that way. It came from a place of love for me and a sense of justice, I know, but that's not how you do it, kiddo.
I don't want anyone fighting battles with family members for me. I don't want revenge. I just want it all to stop. In the case of Nibsmother, that's unlikely to happen until she dies. And in the case of my evil Strawberry Blonde Sister, it may kinda sorta happen someday if her kids or circumstances bust her.
P.S.: Which isbetter less hurtful, being two-faced like Nibsmother, or overtly, viciously hostile like Strawberry Blonde Sister? Oddly enough, Nibsmother wins as far as I'm concerned. If my son had treated IBS SBS like that, part of me might have smiled.
