It felt like the Dodgers totally tanked this last series with the Pirates.

I looked back at the schedule and realized they won 3 of 4 games.

That is how this season is going.

That's fair enough

Iunno. It just seems odd to me to so easily "I don't give a shit about my dad" but then wonder why and actually be hurt by extended family not giving much thought to you. Seems like that'd just be something to easily distance from.

I've never done anything particularly harmful to them to draw their ire.

Also this is my moms side of the family, I flat out don't talk to and do my best to entirely avoid my dads family.

I'm sorry the situation happened, but I mean... Right after telling about how they don't care about you, you told about how you don't care about your dad. Like, "They're just fake to me." and "Oh I'm fake about caring about my dad" being side by side posts makes it seem like this is just a thing with you and your family in general. >_>

I'm not fake about it. I've straight up told him I don't necessarily give any shits about him.

Is there any way you can sit down with them and explain how you feel, and maybe hope in the future it won't be like this again? You know, everyone can communicate in a rational manner?

I know that sounds naive, but it works for me.

Not really, no. They just don't care. Or they'll fake it in conversation and then just continue behind my back.

Organizing 200 people isn't that simple either.

And it's a 2-acre arena. We can't just bum rush all ten of them at once.

If we were fit enough to charge at a decent speed at them, we'd have a chance.

But you'd literally be putting this on board 8's fitness to win here. No chance in hell.

Also unrelated to this, but affecting my overall mood to deal with something like this.

My day got a liver transplant a couple months ago(Not sure when), it seemed to go well at first but hes been in and out of the hospital for the last month and a half or so. First couple of weeks hes been doing great but they don't know if its a bad reaction to medications or an infection or what, but the best I could describe him is that when he isn't in the hospital hes been almost zombie-like.

On top of that, my relationship with my dad is...complicated, I guess. My ability to care for his well being extends little beyond the fact that my mom cares for his well being and I care for my mom. This means I have to deal with him somewhat as not dealing with him doesn't align with what I do care about. But at the same time, it means I don't necessarily care about his well being. But I'm constantly bombarded with questions about how my dad is doing, and I can only fake caring so much before its obvious that if he were to die or something I just wouldn't be hurt all that much(I'd feel sad that my mom feels sad, but myself, a good chunk of me would be entirely indifferent).

Its just a very strange position that I'm put in socially that you can't really explain on a whim. Like, my response to how my dad is doing is "not great" or something along those lines, but I don't necessarily enjoy being bombarded with the fake i'm sorrys from people when truth be told I don't care all that much myself.

"First thing that crosses my mind: I didn't get any GameFAQs Karma yesterday." Math Murderer after getting his appendix removed.

So I've got my little cousins over here with my grandpa today, we were waiting for their mom(Technically, shes my cousin and they are her kids, but at a certain point everyone is just cousins, its simpler that way) to come home so we could all go out and eat dinner..

So my cousin arrives, says we're going to a restaurant and that "aunt x and y are there we are all going to dinner together". Unexpected, and not the place I expected to go to. We were thinking BBQ before, but whatever. The place ended up being an italian place that honestly I don't think is as good as it used to be.

So we get there, and my aunts are already all there. There response is "oh, I thought you guys were still in Oregon". Me and my grandpa were in Oregon with my uncle for the eclipse, we got back yesterday. We'd told everyone like 6 months in advance, and then reminders all up to this week, that we'd be back yesterday. It wasn't exactly a secret(They just didnt give enough shits to remember). One of my aunts is having a minor freak out because they'd asked for a table for 10 and we were now 12. So we were definitely unexpected.

There were a few other things they do at the start that I wont get into, mostly rude and inconsiderate towards my grandpa, but whatever. That annoys me more than it makes me feel shitty.

So we get to part B, they have (crappy) mini cupcakes and birthday candles. They had planned this dinner, intending for both me and my grandpa not to be there, as a birthday dinner for my aunt. First off, they literally planned this dinner for my grandpas daughter, my grandpa likes his kids, and they intended to celebrate without him. Second part of this, her birthday was the 18th, so its not like this was some day of thing. They could have done this whenever.

So anyway this was a birthday dinner I wasnt intended to be invited to. So I'm already feeling awkward.

The part that effects me here, the 20th was my birthday. So we get to the point they are going to sing happy birthday to my aunt, since it was basically my birthday too, I guess they feel obligated to sing to me to(They combine us into one dumb song) even though the dinner wasnt for me and I basically wasn't invited and felt like the an outsider the whole time there. I don't think I've ever felt more insulted than being sung happy birthday to with a yellow cake(I think) mini cupcake with plain frosting on(I don't think I could think of a less desirable thing to eat) it at a dinner that was planned intentionally at a time when I was apparently thought to be out of state.

Look, I'm 31, you don't want to have birthdays for me, fine. But my cousin is 36, she still gets birthdays, my other cousin just had a big giant party for his 30th(I had a small dinner for mine last year). Or if they don't have a birthday, they at least give them presents(Or, hand them over a token sum of cash. Some sort of recognition is the point). No one mentions anything for me. No presents, no cash changing hands. Hell, my grandpa writes everyone from grandkids down a check for $100 on christmas and birthdays. But even he forgot me(Which is fine, hes 92 years old, he forgets things, and I see him literally every day).

And its not like I am an outsider to this family, one aunt here I literally took off work to go to her daughters birthday a month ago, another aunt here I literally take care of her grandkids all the time(I took them to Disneyland a couple weeks ago before they started school too).

Anyway, the dinner was awkward as hell, made me feel pretty depressed, originally a bit angry on the inside but now I'm just feeling kind of sad.

Yeah?

Well, I'm planning to drive to Salem, OR.

Then after the eclipse is over, I'm planning to drive home so I could go to work the next day. Which is about 935 miles of driving.

I might be insane.

Good luck with that.
