Walk 5 minutes in my shoes...i dare you


A relative of mine recently felt the need to personally attack my abilities as a woman and as a mother. I'm not mentioning names, so don't ask. It was during the hurricane and we were all cramped together for days with very little food, no electricity and an active 4 year old. Regardless of the situation, that does not give you a free pass to say whatever you want to whomever you want in front of everyone...especially my son that looks up to me. I felt very degraded and worthless, because of your snide and hateful comment. Have i ever treated you the way that you treated me? Have i ever called you names or tried to embarrass you in front of the person you love the most? The answer is no. I don't appreciate you judging me. Although we are related...you don't know me at all. You only see what i allow you to see. You have not walked in my shoes so you have no right to an opinion of me. I realize that you are young and immature..that's understandable. But you really need to think before you speak and hold your tongue. Some times people say things that can be forgiven, but never forgotten. This is one of those times.
