I've grown up, can't you just leave me alone?

my maternal grandmother is not the person who says "I've done my best" when it comes to raising her children. No, she's the opposite.

she can be controlling, give you guilt trips and my own mother has been fed up with it. I don't blame her. She doesn't call her mom to have a regular chat once in a while because my grandma will start nagging her saying she doesn't visit her often. Why do you suppose that is? Sure, you praise Jesus that your granddaughter is pregnant but you act completely different when someone else is in the same situation. What if it were me who was pregnant at such a young age that I am? You wouldn't be jumping for joy.

as for me and my relationship between the only grandmother I have left alive, I still respect her and show her kindness but there's a point where I've reached with her and it's quite upsetting. I stopped being so close to her when I found out she still has a grudge against my uncle's boyfriend. That's your own son you're discrimating against Grandma. Can't you just be happy that he found someone that makes him happy?

I know even I've reached a age where I don't regularly keep contact with my extended family. I still think of them and there may be strains on our relationships and there's probably a reason that caused it.

when did we all grow distant?

it has become apparent to me for some time that I am not as close to my relatives and childhood friends as we once were. It's something out of our control, we grow apart to live our seperate lives. I wish I remained somewhat of a open communication with them but oh well. Now that we are on break from classes from college. I wonder what will happen since I lack social interaction with the few friends that I was able to hold on to. I'm not saying I'm a complete loner. My mom has that concern for me and it bothers me when she brings upon the subject. I made the conclusion that I would rather talk to them versus hanging out but nothing can make up for social interaction. If I am able to hang out with a few friends during the break I'll be fine. I already hang out with a friend once a week during classes.
