Maggie, I think 'snippity' is required when you're under rude 'attack' from the blockheads. Feeling resentment for having been taken advantage of is righteous! Dumpling is right when she says that we have to remain assertive rather than aggressive when somebody is taking advantage... especially in-laws who assume that they have an 'extra' right to take digs at you because you're in the "family". I love this forthright attitude of yours; the clarity of your feelings about it are a real bonus for the rest of us...

I'm glad I made you smile...sometimes being snipidy is ok, especially in my books!! Have a good day :)

Your post made me smile. I like the word snipity! I can be snipity too. Trouble is I am not old enough yet to not care what people think. I am getting better. Or maybe its the meds. Anyhow I try to not think that it is the end of the world if I am not perfect. Anyhow keep being snipity, until you can be just assertive. I don't know what I would do it I could not browse these posts and smile a bit.

Thanks Daily Llama. I certainly hope I don't sound like a "bossy butt", I'm not, I guess I'm just trying to take charge of me. I think sometimes I overdo it and I sometimes become rude to people who have taken advantage of me in the past (resentment?) and instead of being certain in my decisions and being confident, I go totally the other way and just turn my back on some of these people. My husband's family being one of the them and another person. I wonder if there is medication for people who are "snipidy", that may be me some days. I'm not perfect, I'm trying to figure out me, my husband, he may be second in line. Have a good day.

You know, my husband doesn't even look at the meds that I take and I only take a very mild antidepressant. He doesn't acknowledge it, doesn't ask how I'm feeling, doesn't even bring it up, but you know what, I need to do this for me. In order for me to continue to be healthy, happy and be who I am, I need to do this right now. My husband is a separate issue right now, he has his own baggage he needs to start dealing with, but that's his problem, I can't take ownership for that, I used to and not any more (I don't mean that in a mean way, just reality). I think we need to look after ourselves in order for us to be a mom, dad, whatever it is for you. Good luck :)

NullPointer, Have you ever thought of couples therapy? Perhaps if a professional pointed it out to her? Danielle, Bilingual Support Specialist

Well, she called me "Whacko" the other day and I didn't appreciate it very much. so I guess she knows I have issues, but she certainly doesn't seem interested in being supportive me with them. Whenever I try to discuss how I feel, she takes it all personal and gets offended and then defensive and starts yelling at me about it's not her fault and this and that... but I never said it was her fault. Of course Doc thinks some of it is her fault and that's why he wants me to - well - get rid of her sort of like a divorce, but I'm not sure I want to do that. I don't know if it's because I love her so much or that she'll try to use my mental condition against me and take the kids and take me to the cleaners. Then I'll end up in jail for failure to pay and she'll be living it up with someone else.

I think that admitting that you have to take meds to be sane is admitting mental illness. And there still is a stigma. ARE YOU CRAZY? Well yes actually I am. I need to take medicine to keep me from killing myself. So if you take meds she is married to a crazy man. And she has to admit you have a problem.
