Question Thank you so much for your assistance.
I have a son who gets sick easily. He tends to catch any cold flu sickness floating around.. for this reason I try to keep him clear from children who are sick.
During the holidays this year, I took him to visit my aunt and while we were there, her grandkids called her to come visit as well. She agreed to them to join us and just the night before she had told me one of them had been vomitting and seemed to have flu like symptoms.
Immeadiately I felt hurt by this and anrgy since she knows how my son seems to get sick all the time and I asked her to please reconsider and perhaps they could come a little later giving us a short time to visit. She argued and we ended up leaving her home while she shouted insults to me about "living in a bubble" and calling me a germaphobe. My kids were upset with her as was I and since that day in December I have not spoken to her.
I've heard through my other family members that she now hates me and I think that is so strong and so harsh to be saying about me and I feel very upset by all this.
I just do not know what to do. I realize I should have communicated my emotions to her at the time and simply not speaking was not the answer but with her now saying such harsh things I just do not know what to do. Any thoughts?
Answer You have not given your son's age.However, do not panic for your son's sickness.Consult your doctor.You can admit your son to Yoga classes as it will strengthen your sons immune system.
So far as the matter of your aunt is concerned, you should communicate about your emotions and concerns for your son.Even after that if your aunt doesn't understand you, don't bother about your aunt.Just be honest to your self and your son.
