Ok I have calmed down. When you read my initial post, the entire story isn't there, nor will it be. It is not unreasonable for her to expect more notice, however that is not what she said. She started whining about not being able to afford a pair of shoes, when she paid off two cars for one brother that defaulted TWICE and paid my other brothers almost $3000 a mortgage when his business tanked. My payment to her is $278.
If I could pay her back, I would not have needed to call her to tell her we don't have the money this month. My husband recently lost his job. This is not a decision I take lightly. I borrowed the money in 2007. SHE took out the loan and THEN told me what she did. I had been unemployed for 10 months and needed to pay off bills. Since 07 I have never been late on a payment.
I am almost 50 years old. I am a responsible adult, and any assumption otherwise is rather insulting.
This behavior is nothing new for her. Now, usually when someone is ranting about being treated badly by their parent or family member, they are in state of need of support, not flippant opinions.
I do know that posting here opens me up to that. However, if I could encourage you to be a bit more gentle in posts that require it, you will find more people friendly toward you.
