Slap in the Face. Ouch!

One of the things I hate the most is people questioning my decisions. I get the feeling that my integrity is being put in line. Some people have been giving me that feeling these past few days. And honestly, I cannot shake off the annoyance I feel towards them (although I really want to).

Sometimes, I really do feel alone in dealing with everything. Every big decision I make is met with criticism (Harsh, I must add). I mean, give me a break! These people do not even know the reasons behind my decisions. I do not think they even want to know either. But there they go, questioning me, putting me down, making me feel that I am a useless, inconsiderate person.

Most of my world revolve around my brother's recovery. I will do everything possible to get him up and walking. I guess the decisions that I have been making towards his recovery are pissing some of my relatives off (or only a particular person). I honestly do not think this person even has the right to tell me what to do or diss my decision. Maybe this person just wants me to ask for her opinion on things (As she would say, respect the elders). But aren't I old enough to make my own decisions?

I am very disappointed with the other person. Questioning me came as such a surprise, I found it difficult to bring myself back to be around him without feeling uncomfortable. It's like "WHAM, Lianne, your decisions are bad!" Slap in the face. Ouch!
