So I was right..

This weekend was actually not too bad, as far as living with a BPD person can be... . until Sunday night.

My stbex's grandma fell and broke her hip/leg Sunday and his folks let him know. Now I had no clue until my 10 year old told me so I immediately went downstairs to check with him and see how she was doing. I got a total rant about how insensitive I am. I was like WHUT? I was just asking about his grandma- take in consideration she is 96 and had surgery for the fracture. I was being sincere and trying to be supportive. Asking about him, his folks, her, etc...

Well, tonight I got home from work- late- because of traffic- and I was already the bad guy for that but when I had the audacity to ask how his grandma was doing he blew up on me. He told me that I am not allowed to ask him about her or ANY of his family and that I apparently don't understand how wrong I am for even broaching the subject. I knew the semi calm couldn't last for long, but really? I'm being real about it, I care about her, heck, I care about how he is doing with this, his family is doing with this.

Does this make anyone else say WTH? I has a sad because of this. :'(
