I will admit that I can be a negative person at times but I am really trying to work on that and stay more positive. I am trying to live a life where I don't worry about things as much and I am trying to minimize stress because I am trying to beat my anxiety and high blood pressure.

I have met my match when it comes to negative people. Now that I am back living with my parents my father is driving me nuts! Everyday he has something negative to say and he has the great ability to bring up things that get me irritated.

Example: I am sitting there today relaxing. My Dad asks me "Where is that stuff that (insert the name of my stbx) was supposed to send you?"

I told him let me worry about that stuff, it will come. He continues on and I, in a very nice way, told him to stop bringing that up, it is my problem and not his. (My wife is supposed to be sending me a packet of information that I need for a background thing that I am working on).

I deal with this kind of crap and short little jabs all of the time. He constantly reminds me that I am not employed and I am looking for a job. I realize these things and I am doing the best that I can do to remedy these things so why keep bringing it up and rubbing salt in my wounds (I have asked him not to do this and he just does what he wants to do.

Tonight we got into an arguement because I was sick of his little comments and remarks. I finally told him that he didn't live a perfect life either, he had problems that he had to overcome, and he shouldn't be making comments about the way I eat when I am at least healthy (now) and he is having sugar problems and he isn't keeping his diabetes in check.

I can't wait to find a job and get the flock out of my parents' house!
