1. I'd never been called a joke

Jan 2017

until just a few nights ago. Damn, it hurt, especially coming from the loved one who said it.

I was called a man hater by a different loved one a few days before Christmas. Happily agreed to by two other loved ones the day after Christmas. They gave it a few days to marinate before they all piled on.

I was called stupid by yet another loved one who is a Trump supporter just 2 days ago.

Needless to say I'm crushed. I could assume they must all be right about being a man hater, or at least coming off sounding as one, since they're all saying it. On the other hand, the stress of traveling and Christmas brings out the worst in people and boy oh boy what fun it is to get a couple people to agree with you when you're pissed off. Honestly, I'm not sure what to think.

The trump thing, I'm sure about. Just sad that someone I love could be so misled and close minded.
