Life sucks!
My brother goes 'hey, I'll pick you up from outside McDonalds today at 4pm and we'll go and get your car eh (it was in at the mechanics)...be ready at 4pm and wait right outside...don't go anywhere, or I will miss you'.
So, I said 'okay'...and I was there at 4pm and he didn't show...it became 4-30pm and still, no brother...then it started to pour down rain and it became very cold, but I had to stand in that one place and not move...I got totally saturated...5pm and still, no brother...and I was cold, hungry, shivering and needed to take a bathroom break.
Finally, at 5-30 my brother came and I was already in the middle of a full-blown meltdown by that stage.
I'm like 'what took you so long?' he's like 'sorry, I got caught up at work...some people actually DO THAT around here, you know?" then I'm like 'no need to get rude with me when you are only trying to cover up your own guilt here, mate'.
He goes 'yeah, way to go to treat those who are only just trying to do you a favour'...so I just said 'fine, remind me never to ask again in future...it's obvious you are just way too busy to have the time running around doing 'favours'".
Him: "you're not wrong and should be more bloody appreciative of that". Dear lord, if I was any more appreciative of how 'busy' he is, I'd never, ever see him.
I tried to explain that I start stimming and have meltdowns when people keep me waiting...and he's like 'well then, sister, you have a real problem there' and I just say 'don't you think I know it? but I cannot help it!'
Suffice to say, it's time I started thinking about moving on from here...the whole environment is toxic enough for me as it is...and I don't need it...and I know they don't need it either...
Where the hell is respite care when it is needed?...
