Just venting. Saw my sister for the first time in 3 years today; feel really stressed out from spending time with her and her husband. Long story short; he's an insecure, uneducated military blowhard who puts her and others down with little digs. He's the kind of guy who's really rude to service people.
But then, because I'm a lesbian, he and my sister -- who are very uncomfortable with it, being that they live on an army base and not in the real world -- need to make little digs about that. You know, pretending to be cool with it, but then saying "but it's not a choice I'd make; I personally think it's wrong." Hey, how about I personally think it's wrong to bully my sister or to perpetuate your neanderthal genes, fucker.
Augh. My back hurts, I feel so stressed. I feel so revved up I'm gonna have trouble sleeping tonight.
How do you deal with it when people around you start un-evolving?
