I have never known someone with such a complete talent for making every fucking experience as fucking MISERABLE as possible.

And that's saying something. Because I know some Miserable Fucks.

She hardly knew her son in the first place. She doesn't know him now. But she thinks she does. Such a perfect shitstorm of arrogance, clingly-ness, infantilization, and control-issues I have never seen.

This has nothing to do with FB. This has to do with a prolonged situation involving her relentless bitchery regarding my husband UNWILLINGLY managing her medical care.

A point here is that she lives half-way across the world from the good olde u s of a.

Ever so many delightful phone calls.

AH YES YOU ARE RIGHT ABOUT THAT.

SRY, I'm a bit keyed-up.

I need either more or less coffee... if only I knew which!

An exciting cocktail of cultural norms, family politics, and the fact that she has a serious chronic/terminal illness requiring groundbreaking new treatments that are only accessible through eruo/us channels.

At the moment, anyhow.

I'm very sympathetic. But she was a handful and a half before all this started.

FAMILY.

I'm sorry to hear that. People can be so toxic.

Haha, well the only thing that will fix this is that she'll get the treatment in September? Then it'll be over.

His brother buys into his Mom's drama, and his father is a non-starter, cos she doesn't listen to him anyhow.

FORTUNATELY, I am not involved. As I have only met them the once. I am so glad right now that air-travel is so expensive.

lol

Not meaning to be cryptic. She has Hepatits C. That she got from a bad blood transfusion in immediately post-soviet russia.

Time to start Day Drinking until Fall!

Haha, yeah me too! I don't tend to give a lot away. I'll let it slide this once. ;3

Also lols HEPATITS. Hepatitis. Freudian disrespect up in here.

Yeah, I get that! I think this is the first time I've really said anything overtly personal on Plurk. I just have no one else to Vent to at the moment!

I need to paint... but I need to lower my blood pressure first. TUMBLR SPAM IS GO.

That sounds rough DX

bacsojin: It is, indeed, no walk in the park. But I hope the end of the year will see it resolved! Thanks.

I hope it's resolved too.
