to Florida, that is the question for M. Yet another of the torturous statements made. During a time when she was feeling left out / unwanted (again, the conferences conversation) I happened a across a great flight deal from our state to Orlando. $107 RT to go and visit my elderly parents. Booked just a short trip, but wanted to take the opportunity to go and check on my Dad especially -- recently diagnosed with Alzheimer's.
Well, as I said, at the time I booked, I made an effort NOT to make M feel left out or unwanted on the trip -- even though she regularly asserts a troubled history with my Mom, etc, etc..... Can't hardly win!!
Well, tonight, when she settled down some, and turned her attention to other matters of conflicted feelings, she said, "Oh, and when was I consulted about going to FL? " I pointed out to her that I had, in fact, asked her about it within the period of time to cancel without penalty. AND, that, since she would only have had her cast off a few days before, that IF she ended up NOT feeling up to going [not to mention, if the emotions were wonky] that the ticket didn't cost that much and if she couldn't go, no big deal.
SHE did not remember that. Or at least believes the conversation took place too late to cancel.
But, I recall very well....
So, then, it was "well, maybe YOU have money to throw away, but I don't".
No win, no win.
