Today is my baby brother's birthday. He's 46 (I think!). I'm figuring that based on the fact that I'm 59, and he's 13 years my junior. I'm thinking of re-friending him on Facebook, but it would mean that I'd be vulnerable to his right-wing whacko politics again, and that would make me angry with him all over again. Sigh.
Speaking of Facebook, I noticed that my husband's niece has "friended" her mother, my former arch-enemy. There are only a few people that I dislike and fear, and she's one of them. It's hard to feel kind-hearted toward someone who has done the stuff this woman has done. She's a real nut job. Maria sees this woman regularly (they work near each other), and the woman always gives her the cold-shoulder, just based on the fact that Maria is MY friend. I've often wished I had the courage to tell this woman just how vile I think she is, but she is truly a crazy woman, and there's no telling what she would do. So I have kept my mouth shut, more or less, although I don't mind telling anyone who will listen that this woman whispered to me--with a SMILE on her face--that she hoped that I died and rotted in hell. She did it more than once, so it isn't as if I misunderstood her. Shudder. My mother-in-law said the last time she saw her ex-daughter-in-law was eleven years ago and that she looked really bad, including having lost some teeth. It's almost enough for me to believe that karma is real.
