Bit in the ass

[PrttyBrd]

What do you do when someone close to you tries to say something nice while really breaking your heart? I loathe backhanded compliments. If you thought I was Lucifer, perhaps mentioning it a decade ago would have been better than telling how great I am now compared to being hells pawn back then would have been more productive. I have never gone out of my way to be hurtful or mean. Does it happen? Yes, on occasion by accident, of course it does. I am but human. Why can't people (me included) ever properly judge when to stop talking? How do we speak so much with our feet constantly in our mouths? I'll get over it, as usual. But sometimes, the sting is more than a sting and some cracks in the foundation of a relationship are irreparable. This has changed things, and I'm afraid it is permanent. Oh well, you can't choose family.
