Laughing so hard I stab someone. OH wait.

So, MIL has been off our radar for a while because she's been pretty wretched towards her progeny in the whole transition/trans thing. And then she asked Jaime for money "so she doesn't lose the house" (Uh, we don't have that kind of money). But Monday was Jaime's chosen birthday and MIL texted her, which is what I thought a step in the right direction. Except the content was so passive-aggressive that it almost doesn't count.  In the text, MIL said that she loved Jaime and always would and that was something that Jaime "couldn't run away from." ... I didn't quite understand why that overblown language was used. I just read it at face value and said "hey, cool. text, unprompted on an important day and sent love. I call that a win."
Except.
MIL apparently earlier made reference that she believed that this "trans thing" was Jaime's way of running away from problems/reality. ... ... ...

LOL

no. Ohhhhh lady. No. So much... NO. Also? WTF. And no. Once more? With feeling? NO.

Ahem. So, that. I think we'll not be having a visit with her anytime soon.

I... err... ah... WHAT? No.

I started out listing all the ways that's wrong and fukkit, not worth the electrons. I'm sorry you're having to deal and I hope it's not upsetting Jaime too much.

[mizarchivist]

It's very frustrating, particularly for her. There's a lot of damage and this just adds to the bad will and the feeling like we'll never come to an understanding.

[drwex]

Never is a long time - one remains hopeful while there is still time for her to come to reality.

*hugs you both*

Fatalistic

I'm not sure how long "never" will be, given the self-reporting of MIL's health and the reality that she's over 70. She doesn't have forever to figure it out. :/

[gilana]

What? How does that even...? Wow. Tal about detached from reality. My sympathies to both of you.

[mizarchivist]

One does not even. I can't even. Thanks.

"Not just no, but HELL NO."

I'm sorry that the two of you have to deal with this bullshit, and it is definitely bullshit.

[mizarchivist]

Isn't it though? Thanks.

Can't EVEN

[taura_g]

There are no evens...
There are no fucks...
There are not enough WTF's

*HUGS* to both you and Jaime. You are quite right, no visits anytime soon.

Re: Can't EVEN

[mizarchivist]

Entirely can't even.
