It’s so unusual to be perceived as not great enough.
- I mean, I do that to myself enough already without the stupid in-laws piling on.
From the time I started dating their daughter Ed, it was made clear to me that I wasn’t their choice. Ed’s mom as well as dad have never approved of me as a spouse to their daughter. And it’s constantly displayed in a rather passive aggressive sort of way. Thank God, recreational marijuana is legal in this state. Otherwise, I would just have to be unavailable whenever they are involved. If I know I need to go to a family party or they are coming to visit, I get by the local cannabis spot as suddenly as I can. Not that I need any additional reason to get to the cannabis dispensary. I’ve appreciated recreational marijuana since I was going to college. And in fact, so has the rare daughter of my in laws. But that’s not for Ed’s parents to know. That’s superb as that’s Ed’s business to tell anyway. I’m just so thankful that I can get myself to the local cannabis spot as well as get a supply of cannabis gummies. This at least allows me to endure what would otherwise be poor passive aggressive behavior from Ed’s parents. I wish I could figure out what it is that makes it so taxing for me to be accepted into that ghastly family. They act as though I’m sort of just present as well as accounted for when I’m in their midst. But after over a decade, I’ve decided to just let it go because they are going to be them. And I’m going to be me so bring on a ton of cannabis products whenever the in laws are staying any more than 20 minutes.
