My parents have some well intentioned friends who call wanting to talk to my Dad on the phone. They just don't get how much my Dad's speech is impaired and how frustrating it is for him to have to repeat himself.
Some friends are always telling me what I need to "make my parents do". They just don't get that my parents are still adults and still entitled to make their own decisions. I can't force Dad to go to physical therapy any more than my Dad could force me to do much of anything.
My boyfriend misses me terribly. I miss him too, but he just doesn't get that making me feel bad for not being at home doesn't help my mental state at all.
My Mom doesn't get that I've walked away from my home, my career and my financial stability. My last paycheck will come in a couple of weeks. I'm terrified. She just doesn't get it.
I didn't have any idea how hard it would be to live here with just my parents as companionship. I just didn't get it.
