It's not being the easiest spring I've ever had.   My Mom died unexpectedly in April.  I've also gone off my Rexulti (mood stabilizer) because it was affecting my liver function.

The good news is, a month into that, I'm still feeling pretty stable - no major episodes.  Another good thing is that I'm, again, working with some of my closest friends working on a game project due to release in November.

The down side is that my sister is really starting to piss me off. She has shut me out of any sort of planning, etc, regarding Mom's passing.  Basically - it's a control thing.  She wants to be in charge, which has been a common theme our entire lives.  So, when it came to writing the obituary and choosing photos for a video memorial, she and my youngest sister cut my third sister and I out of the process.  Needless to say, Reba and I weren't in evidence among the photos of Mom's life, but a lot of M and K were used.

Then, after checking to see when we should have the in-person memorial "party", she ignored when I was available, and picked a date that worked for her.

and, she did it again.  Asked when I would be available to plan the party, and, once again, picked a day to plan things when I wasn't available.

That's three times in 2 months she's fucked me over on this.

I haven't reacted, yet.  Which is a huge deal - even 5 years ago, I would have torn into her as soon as I found out she had pulled this kind of stunt.  Instead, I'm waiting to be sure I can calmly point out to her just how out of line she is being.  Basically, I'm resisting the urge to remind her about the dangers of fucking me over, or of all the shitty stunts she's pulled over the years.

I should point out that me and middle sister are adopted, M and K aren't.  And that M and K don't just sideline me, they do it to Reba constantly.

To be honest  Even calm, there's a good chance anything I say will make her try to play the victim card.  And I am not in he mood to indulge her fantasy that she is as caring and considerate as she likes to present herself.
