Re: Venting
(Anonymous) 2013-09-26 07:48 am (UTC)(link)My last birthday I did tell my parents I didn't want him there and they were fine with it and the three of us went to dinner without him, so I guess that's a good sign at least?
Communicating and trying to fix things unfortunately doesn't work. I've tried several times (once he realized what I wanted to discuss he'd say "I don't want to talk about it" and get up and leave the room) so I finally gave up. The last time was several years ago though so I suppose it's possible he's changed at least a little since then...maybe I should give it another try. My mom is convinced that he's just immature but eventually he'll grow up and stop being an asshole...I think that's why it bothers her when I say I want to quit being around him, because she thinks if I just be patient he'll eventually come to his senses and everything will be fine. I kind of doubt it, but maybe I'm just being pessimistic and she's right.
I don't know, maybe I'm being overly negative and I should give him the benefit of the doubt instead of just automatically assuming that's he going to be an asshole every time I'm around him. I mean, if history is any indicator, he probably will be, but maybe I should try to be more positive.
Anyway, I'm sorry for dragging this out so much and bothering you...thank you for listening to (or reading I guess) my ranting. :)
Re: Venting
As far as communicating, sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. Sometimes people change and sometimes they don't. It really all relies on him. He won't change if he doesn't want to. He will if he does. (You're parents still sound like enablers. He's a grown man. He shouldn't have to "grow up or out" of anything. He should have it beat by now.)
I can't tell you if you're being overly pessimistic or not. I really can't. I don't know. That's something you have to think hard about for yourself.
You're not bothering me. I'm the one who replied to you. If I didn't want to get into it I wouldn't have posted. And you're welcome. I really do wish you good luck.

(Anonymous) 2013-09-27 12:04 am (UTC)(link)I just got back from dinner and it actually wasn't bad at all. I haven't seen him in several months, and he was actually the most decent he's been in years. Hopefully things will get better! :)
