So....

My mom's been going through a lot of stress lately ....and this morning she had basically hit the breaking point. She was taking me to work, since I don't drive... and it was readily apparent that she was really not okay. She was upset. She was so upset it scared me a bit.

So she drops me off at work and I can't bring myself to go in the building because I am freaked out. I walked for a ways and called my boyfriend at home because I didn't know what to do. We finally decided I should come back home to make sure things were alright.

So I call my boss to let him know that I wouldn't be there. I know he hates it when these calls come short notice, but I didn't really plan it.

I tell him that I'm sorry it's so short notice but I need to stay home today because I'm having some family issues I need to take care of. My voice is pretty much cracking through this whole call.

There's a long pause and he says "What's going on?" and I tell him that my mom's kind of emotionally breaking down and I need to be there for her. Another pause..... Then he proceeds to tell me how this is really inconvenient because he has these clients crawling up his ass for this work...and so on... and he says "I can hear you breaking down so go take care of what you need to...but this has pretty much screwed my whole day. Go take care of it, but we are going to have to talk about this."

I got off the phone and couldn't believe it. WTF? Uh, SORRY I couldn't schedule the breakdown for a time that was more convenient for you! I've had ENOUGH of this asshole! He whines and cries about his personal life all the time, his mom and his ex and blah blah blah! I sit there and listen to it. We've had 3 deaths in the family over the last year and I've never even so much as mentioned THOSE!

And he feels he has the right to make ME feel bad for caring about my mother??

Jesus Christ.
