I have had a good week for the most part.... Sunday was Dev's Birthday That was wonderful, but my old "friend" E-man ate over with us that was a HUGE mistake.. He is Smart... Although he doesn't use his intelligence does the make sense? No? ok I will explain My parents asked him why he didn't believe in God ( not that that's a big deal) He answered with I have done drugs.... In front of my 14 yr old sister in law and 16 year old Brother in law... OMG and that is not the worst part.. He tries to argue with a bunch of LDS people that God isn't real, and we are all just trying to feel a void that we all have..... even if that were the case why would he say that? Then he gets into a science debate with my whole family. I just wanna crawl into a hole and die at this point... That's not even the rest he left us all with a feeling of uneasiness and not comfortable.. He teaches Zack (brother in law) Math and Ralph (Father in law) Is at the point of not wanting him at the house ever.... Now I usually try to defend my friends but I don't want anything to do with his presence. I feel like Ralph is very justified in what he feels. Not only did make everyone feel uncomfortable Devin's birthday dinner was ruined because of him. HE embarrassed me I feel like my in-laws wont trust my judge of character now. That was Sunday.. Monday I was doing laundry and I found some clothes that were in a drawer that weren't supposed to be there I figured Devin had put them there... WRONG my mother in law put them in the drawer... AHHH big breach of privacy.. I nearly flipped a brick... I don't know if I am valid to feel that way seeing is how we live with her. I feel like she doesn't think that I am capable of taking care of Devin's needs. I don't know.. Anyway
Good parts of my week!!!!!
The relief society general broadcast was amazing I felt the spirit so strong like I said before I know that President Monson is a prophet of God.. I can't imagine what people like E-man are going though without God in their lives I tried that once and I never wanna do it again.... Thanks for letting me vent and any advice is appreciated.... I have decided that I need to be more grateful of what I have so I am going to have appreciations on here the first one is to my sister Milli
I just want to tell you that You have taught me a lot about how to be responsible and honest, you are a great example to me I love being around you. You have a good presence about you a light presence Thank you for giving me a second chance to be your friend.. I am sorry for all the horrible things that I did to you I love you
Sorry to hear your friend was awkward while over. That's always hard to deal with when you invite someone over and you feel responsible for how they're acting, especially when their actions are in poor taste. I hope that gets resolved.
ReplyDeleteAs for your mother-in-law putting things away for you, I'm 100% positive it isn't because she thinks you can't take care of it yourself. Having lived with her and grown up around her, I know she does things purely to be nice and helpful because that's just who she is. Just talk to her and make sure she knows what you feel comfortable with and I'm sure she'll be happy to abide by that.
Love you guys!
Lauren
Ahhh, thanks for the shout out Sade! I'm so glad you started a blog, its good to see how things are going in your life. That sounds horrible with Eman, what a loser (not that he doesn't believe in God, but that he doesn't respect people who do). Maybe just don't be friends with losers anymore? And good luck with the inlaws, They are great people, but I think in any situation, living with other people is HARD! Get out ASAP!
ReplyDeleteIt's too bad that you feel that Devin's birthday party was ruined. Despite Eman, I still felt good feelings and enjoyed Devin's family's company.
ReplyDeleteOne thing that I will not repeat is should I ever have the experience of talking to Eman again, I will not fall into a discussion that begins to lead to argument; as I believe that Eman enjoys the power that he feels when arguing; especially when the topic is religion or God centered. He seems to enjoy the power and attention.
I agree with Lauren (above); give the benefit of the doubt and then set boundaries. Love you
