Dysfunctional

I got pretty upset last night after talking to my brother over the phone. My family has been dysfunctional from my early teens and is spread between two far away continents. You'd think that me having Cancer would bring people together but nope, it's the same old feuds, resentment, jealousy and revenge that makes an episode of "Days of our lives" seem like a really simple story.

Everything is always complicated with my family, my father doesn't talk to my brother, my brother barely talks to my father and resents my mother and I'm sick of doing the mediating, beside I've got enough on my plate at the moment.

Today my better half and I went shopping and I managed to forget about everything for about a couple of hours, we stopped for coffees and "Krispy Kremes". I figured that this is my last weekend of my life as I know it and that I should not feel guilty about buying things for me or eating things I probably shouldn't be eating.
Shopping goes a long way as an adjuvant therapy for a lot of things...
