After thinking long and hard about the way to go about the wedding ceremony, I decided to put all of my issues aside and just be the perfect daughter / grandchild, and just go along with whatever they think would be best for the ceremony and dress and everything. This seemed to make my family somewhat happy. Even though inside I was cringing at the thought of hand-me-down decorations and bouquets. I even thought it would be nice for me to go and spend a week with my family since my mom calls me every day and complains that I don't come visit often enough. The only problem is, Derek won't have enough gas to drive the 120 miles round trip, and still be able to get to work for the next week. So I thought "Hey, I can take the metro, and they can pick me up at the station right?"
WRONG.
I understand that my grandpa is busy fixing the seat in his Durango, but my uncle has a perfectly good vehicle, and there is another perfectly good vehicle aside from the Durango. So I ask if there is any way someone else could pick me up, but apparently they only want to see me if I can get there myself and not have to burden them with the task of picking me up. Not only do they not want to pick me up, but they give me an attitude for even suggesting that they do so. Like I'm asking for them to pluck the moon from the sky or some shit. It's fucking bullshit, and I'm so tired of trying to be pleasing to them, when they do absolutley NOTHING for me in return. I haven't asked for a single thing from them since I moved out. Yet they act as though they've been supporting me for the past two years and this one small favor is just far too much for them to handle. I wouldn't be so upset if they would have said no nicely, but when they give me an attitude and act as though I'm putting them out for even asking, it's just fucking mean.
The next time my mom complains that I don't come to visit, I'm going to let her have it for giving me shit when I tried to spend a week with them. I could go off for hours on how much they suck, but I'm sure by now you get the point. Now I remember why I couldn't wait to get away from there in the first place. I hate myself for missing them.
