i just need to bitch for a quick moment.

This discussion thread was locked as off-topic by sarisataka (a host of the The DU Lounge forum).

my sister has Alzheimers and my niece is her caretaker.

she's a magat.

she's taking my sister shopping today. My sister has a cold (test for covid? no fucking way. vaccinate for covid? oh no she's in North Idaho where she even found a PCP to tell her NOT to get the jab). so anyhow, you're sick, so let's go shopping.

I said you're taking her shopping with a cold? she said oh she's on the tail end of it.

I can't go off on her because my sister is all that matters right now. I need to maintain a good relationship with my niece.

So thank you DU for putting up with me. I'm pissed with nowhere to go with it

i feel better already.

it'll just eat me up if I let it. there's a long story behind it too, but to make it short my sister got covid in 2023 and could have died, and my niece still thinks it's a fucking nothing burger.
