My girlfriend and I have agreed to go to therapy together. I think it might help us communicate better but I'm really nervous. I don't want her to get upset and stay mad for days if I tell the truth about how I'm feeling about certain things. Our first appointment isn't for a few weeks so I have time to think it over and decide how much I want to reveal...but perhaps that isn't the best approach.
The holidays weren't too bad this year. It snowed a great deal which isn't normal for where I live but a white Christmas is always lovely. I was a bit lonely even though I was with my girlfriend and her sister. I missed my family and the big loud Christmases we used to have. New Year's was alright though. The two of us stayed home, played board games, got drunk, and then made love the rest of the night. We rarely get time to ourselves so we really took advantage of it.
So now on to what is driving me crazy. My girlfriend's sister is one thing. I've started refering to her as CJ (crazy Jackie). She's pre-menopausal and in denial about it. I'm not sure if it's just her or if all single women of that age act the same, but it's completely nutty. She's seeing someone who's married and she swears the husband is ok with it. (she's seeing his wife...obviously.) She can't say no to any of her friends when they ask her to do something. She said her sort-of-girlfriend's teenage troublemaking daughter could spend the night at our apartment without checking if it was ok with us. My girl has to get up at 3am to go to work which means she needs to get to sleep early most nights. There is no way a teenager is going to respect that and be quiet. Plus I will end up entertaining the kid and trying to keep her out of trouble because Jackie doesn't really want her here, she just said yes to her mother because she wants to keep her happy. The kid is known to get drunk and violent. I have to hide all the alcohol and hope she won't find it.
What else is driving me crazy? My little sister apparently thinks she's pregnant again. She had a miscarriage a year ago. She's only 19 and she's with a man who is not good enough for her in my opinion. He's too immature to be a father and he doesn't work so how on earth can he support her and a kid? I don't think she realizes how expensive kids are and I don't think she realizes how hard it is to raise a kid either. But if she's pregnant, she'll find out soon enough. I just wish she would think about things a little more before she does them. I hate that she's tying herself down to a guy and a kid at such a young age without really ever experiencing the world...all because she feels like that's the best she can do.
Also driving me crazy...the fact that I haven't had much contact with my siblings over the last few months. They only get ahold of me when they need something. Why can't they just call to say hello?
