humphf continued
Humphf!
Apologies, I was so upset I couldn’t even blog about what made me say ‘humphf’ at the weekend.
It’s the ’same old, same old’ anyway… my family poking their noses in where they’re not wanted.
Picture the scene: 30-something woman wants to introduce her new fella to her family. Seems innocuous? You would think! Nah, woman’s parents send her an email, a tissue of lies and half-truths, about how she’s “making another dreadful mistake”, and I’ll spare you any other quotes.
Well, I think the mark has been well and truly over-stepped. I’m tired of picking myself up, dusting myself down, and trying to give my parents what they want without losing sight of who I am. When Voldemort left I decided I had to look after myself, put myself first, and that’s what I’m going to do now. Nothing in the world could induce me to share any further part of my life with people who only want me to live my life as they see fit.
Humphf!
It’s me and The Man against the world now, and I’m off to draft the reply email.
