[QUOTE="Signorina, post: 524280"] Yes, this was definitely a "words said that can't be taken back." H said I was pretty out of control. I honestly don't remember it all - I think more from the pain & adrenalin than the wine. It was also a pent up 4+ year frustration. So many business irregularities that can't be explained and instead of my mom being open/grateful that they are being brought to light - she is defensive and taking it as a personal attack. Add two brothers that don't get along at all - one of whom is her favorite and she demonizes the other and now I am being accused of taking sides...when all I am trying to do is bridge the gap...AKA...the messenger is the one who gets shot. The irony is that I took a far away backseat & HUGE pay cut 15 years ago for this very reason ... with my dad's blessing and at his suggestion. I was quitting and he apologized because he knew that he had put me in an untenable position between my brothers by bringing me into the business. And he asked me to stay and work from home on special projects - which I do - and I take my tasks very seriously and I do a d@mn good job. And my mom tried to spin it on me that it had been a HUGE FAVOR so I could be home with my kids - like it was an act of charity. She doesn't have a clue. Really missing my dad who GOT IT and trusted me and loved my brothers equally. SIGH Thanks for the warm words everyone... no vacations or dinners out in my near future. You should see me - I look horrific and I am not feeling so great either!! I even skipped Mass tonight. I am hoping they tenderness will disappear and I can try to cover some of it with makeup - but that won't be anytime soon! And with my job in jeopardy and the mounting medical bills ($1000 deductible and 70/30 thereafter) - my vacations may be in the local doctor/dentist office.
