Sometimes I shouldn't be me.

Sometimes it doesn't pay to be me. I have a good knack for pissing people off.  That is what I did last night. My son-in-law had driven across my yard with his boat (he uses my yard because he doesn't want to tear up his grass).
 Now, I admit that I don't have the nicest lawn in town. I cannot afford sprays, chemicals, sod, etc. So my lawn looks pretty crappy even without the ruts. But it bothered me. I waited a week and then when I was visiting my daughter and son-in-laws house I made the horrible mistake of mentioning it. Probably not the best thing to do.

The conversation started like this:
Me: So, when are you going to fix the mud ruts you left in my back yard?
Him: I'm not. It's just dirt.

From that point it just got loud and ugly. He stomped on the floor, yelled at me, "Don't you ever fucking come to my house again" and then stormed out of the house.

I stood to leave, my daughter says "Sit back down" and then proceeds to tell me that for 20 years I have been disrespectful of son-in-law. Also said that they had been talking about getting my sprinkler system fixed and do some work on my yard. Yet no one had bothered to inform me of this which probably would have prevented the above mentioned altercation.

As I walked out the door I was told (by son-in-law) "don't let the door slam you in the ass as your leaving".

I sent each of them an e-mail apology, which he acknowledged. So guess now it is over.
I wish I lived anywhere but here. Or maybe I have just lived long enough. I am very depressed at this moment.

I am going to miss them, especially my daughter. She is my life. I feel so much pain right now.
