Worse

Things have only gotten worse. I spent my first 10 minutes at work this morning crying. My mom called and started in about everything. Basically, I think she wants Doug and my brother to make up. That's not going to happen. Doug wants nothing to do with my brother. And I'm stuck in the middle. My mom did say one thing that made sense though. She said that when it's all said and done the only person that will be hurt will be me. If they don't come to some kind of agreement then from here on out, I'll be spending my holidays and family occasions without Doug when I see my family. Because you know there is no way that they are going to forgive Doug. They've already taken Brandon's side. And I'm not mad about that, he's their son. But I don't think we should force the two of them to get along. My brother rubs alot of people the wrong way. The other thing that is making me crazy is that Doug keeps claiming that he did this all for me. That it upset him so much when my brother would say rude things to me that he just couldn't take it anymore. I've gotta love him for trying to protect me in his own weird way, but really, I could do without all of this. And if he loves me so much, then shouldn't he be willing to try to make peace with my family?
