love the way I have to talk to my grandma on the phone that is simultaneously “you suck and you’re mean to my mom and also mean to the rest of the family, and you’ve also purposefully isolated yourself from a lot of our family so that’s why no one wants to answer your calls” and “I love you so much and you mean the world to me and i’m desperately trying not to make this an abandoned connection, both individually and for the family”

#shhh sharkie #there’s some part of me that’s like.#if I can just get nonna to have an actual relationship with me #and let me drive her and pop-pop up to family functions #cause i’m on the way. i’m in maryland and they’re in delaware. they’re literally on the way for my various New England destinations.#but they’ve become extremely combative with the rest of the family #which maybe i’m stupidly hopeful but a lot of conflict would be stopped by talking about the issue face to face and not over texting #anyway have maybe laid the foundation to build some bridges but either way #her main concern was whether or not I was dating someone 😆#and if i would use my older sisters’s wedding to try to find someone #i very gently told her no on both accounts. told her i’ve got a lot going on. and also that a wedding is a terrible place to meet someone #also did tell her no i don’t meet anyone at weddings cause me and my two other queer siblings just gang up and vibe #not in those words but yknow #told her ‘yeah we all just end up hanging out and dancing and drinking together so we don’t even really have the opportunity’#as if the real scenario is who the fuck hooks up with a rando at a wedding. especially when it’s your own family.#like. no. no thank you.#i’m not saying i’d object if the situation were to happen but like #at least most weddings i’ve gone to there’s a chance i’m at least 50% related to anyone attending #i’m just gonna hang out with my other queer siblings and enjoy being with them. yknow?#sidebar cause i went back to edit other things in the post but like #the abandonment and isolation are fuel for radicalization #and yeah half of me is like ‘just cut her off’ but also #my presence on its own is radicalizing. so since i’m apparently the family member she still wants to talk to #it’s apparently my duty #Nonna is gonna be liberal if it breaks my fucking mind #at this pint with the Bullshit i’m on a Mission
