Sorry if there’s a post about this, but I couldn’t find it. I guess I just need to vent and can’t find anyplace to do so.
I am so pissed right now. Here’s the story.
My mother just called me. She was in her car, with my brother’s girlfriend. My mom was just calling me to tell a funny story, about how they got lost going downtown Montreal for my brothers girlfriend to go pass her test for covid, because she started to have symptoms 2 days ago and works in an hospital. They weren’t realizing why I didn’t find it funny, even if the part that they got lost was actually funny… except for the covid potential part.
My mom is 65 years old. My brother was supposed to lift his girlfriend for the test, not my mom. I asked them (they were still in the car and on speaker) why he didn’t go. So apparently he wasn’t feeling so good so he decided that he wouldn’t go. So, like every time, my mother went to be the good mother. And just like that she passed half of the day in the same car with a potential covid.
I am so pissed they didn’t ask me to go, so pissed my brother didn’t go, so pissed my mom went even if 3 days ago I went to do hey grocery and told her I’ll do the shopping for her.
But also I’m pissed at myself because yesterday they talked to me about it and I was depressive and kind of hang over from couple days ago, and I wasn’t fully aware that my mom was actually thinking about going with my brothers girlfriend.
Maybe I’m overreacting , like more then half of the world. But my girlfriend is working in intensive care unit and it’s getting pretty bad, even for people in their thirties… and we discuss about that all nights when she comes back at home. So imagine my reaction when my 65 years old mom went casually in a car to give a lift to someone who is in quarantine from her hospital work because she might have been contaminated and therefore have to be tested before going back to work.
Anyways. Just needed to vent a bit…
But I posted here because this actually make me want to go to the grocery right next to the street and buy booze. I don’t really want to. It’s not gonna change anything. It’s just going to make everything worst. I guess I will let myself feel pissed a bit. Maybe call someone to vent. Rough day 2…
