I can reach out and talk to people without picking up the phone. I'm being sarcastic. Now if I could just get it to work so I can win the lottery I'd be happy lol. I guess it only works certain times though so I'm out of luck. Anyway gotta laugh to keep from screaming so I choose to laugh about it.

I think your family is worse than mine.

gmyers · 09-08-2009, 01:16 PM

I don't know whats wrong with them. Even when I stay away from them the rumors keep flying.

Try to stay further away - if you can still hear the rumors, you're too close.

Whoever is bringing these stories back to you, tell them you don't want to hear them. This is one of the few ways to keep your sanity.

I'm so sorry your family still hasn't changed, but look at it this way, you are changing - for the better - you are getting rid of the negativity in your life.

Have you considered changing your phone number so you don't have to listen to them? Or at least get caller id and voice mail, so when they start their crap you just hit delete.

I've got caller ID now and I've been using it. Last night I thought I'd talk to my sister but the crap started again so I'm back to using caller ID again.

I think were long lost sisters.man my family can and does this kinda chit all the time.man it sucks i know,cause i live this every day also
my best advice to you is to change your number and dont give it out,yes thats hard,but it can be done,if need be give your cell number to people,cause then you know who is and isnt calling,just by looking
hugs to you that things get better fast.

Thank God for caller ID. Now I wont have to hear the negative things that are said anymore. Whoever invented it has my gratitude. Don't you just love it when someone calls you and tells you negative stuff all the time and then has the nerve to get upset with you when you have the nerve to say something back to them. Well she can just get over it because the days of me listening to her bs and getting upset and crying over it are over. She's done nothing but tell me one thing after another about what everyone in the family thinks of me. I've had enough. I can't call and talk to her without it turning negative every time. Me and my husband have had enough of it. If it doesn't change then I'm going to have one less person in my life. Because its taken me a long time but I've reached my limit on her negativity all the time. Thats all it is when I talk to her. Its never what are ya'll doing. Its this person said this or that person said that about me and my husband. If she dislikes us so much then why call anymore. Her husband can't figure out why we can't get along anymore. Thats why. Thats all I've heard since before my sister died and its got a lot worse the last six or seven years.

I wonder if the other people are really saying things about you or if she is just saying they are. She might just be trying to stir up trouble. She could be telling them that you are saying stuff about them too. She sounds spiteful and I think you'd be better off not talking to her.

gmyers · 09-09-2009, 02:37 AM

I wonder the same thing. If she's telling me all this stuff they're supposed to be saying then what is she telling them I'm saying. I know she has some because she's told me some things she's told them. But one day people will see whats happening.

You should tell her if you wanted to hear a soap opera you would tune into them on your own damn TV...LOL. I can't stand it when family talks about each other. My family does it, but in a caring concerned way not a rub it in your face way. My Mother would never let us kids fight with each other and if we did we were made to make up. Even now with us all adults, none of us say a bad word about each other...and if we do we make it a joke so it don't sound so bad...LOL. We do have one brother that likes to bad mouth, and I have kinda written him out of my life. I don't need that crap in my life, sometimes you have to let a family member go to avoid that sort of thing. I don't miss my brother just because I couldn't stand the way he acted. unfortunately you can't control or change the way other people act.
