Wow.
Just when I thought I was all done with insight I got another layer just now.
Like my mother before her, my sister gets angry when I don't comply to her wishes. Although I do not break the law or go crazy disregarding social norms, there are some formalities that I think are silly and don't follow and she takes that personally. If she can't control me, she gets angry at me. Thank you. Now I just peeled another layer off t he onion.
Why do they need to control so badly? It's like t he Daphne thing. Well, yeah, I wish she hadn't done it, but more than anything else I'm just shaking my head. She made a fool out of herself in my opinion, not me. So big deal. She can be a fool if she likes.
Why does she think that what I do, that she may feel is inappropriate (whether or not anyone else does) bother her so much that she feels the need to think it reflects on HER?
Do you feel that what others do reflect on you?
I am more apt to think that way about my kids than my sister. But even with kids...once they are grown, they make their own choices and if they are not good ones, I certainly didn't tell them to do it. Know what I mean? Am I making any sense? I'm pretty tired from the carnival and bidding farewell to my precious daughter...
