Sunday Night

Wow. It’s not even safe to go to a wedding. An old friend, Shari, asked me if I could make it to her daughter’s engagement party on June 11 th. I explained to Shari that I was going to see my adult daughter who lives in a group home in Long Island that day for her birthday so I couldn’t come to the engagement party. Shari then answered……..Well, it’s still a birthday…. Say WHAT??? ITS STILL A BIRTHDAY???? Because my kid has a non typical life Shari states it’s still a birthday!!!!!

Yes, my friends. It has become toxic to go to a Simcha no matter how good one looks, how happy they are, how clever or fun…….

I am a little goldfish who is swimming in a tank of sharks.

And readers, Shari is a good, nice lady. any advice how to handle this? Or other situations like this one?
