Here's a question ? Why is it people call you and ask for your opinion on some urgent matter (theirs) then get annoyed if you don't answer it they way they think you should ??? Why waste your time or theirs ? People really don't want to hear what you have to say, they just want to use you as a sounding board. They want you to say uh, uh, uh and um ,um, um, if you offer an opinion it is not the right one or "obviously you are not in a position to solve the problem ( have the correct answer) , so sorry I bothered you". If you don't offer an opinion you are selfish, only interested in your own selfish self ". So why do we allow ourselves to be beat up verbally by these folks ? One we don't have a choice they are related to you , You can not refuse to have them in your inner circle, God (or your parents) has taken care of that. You will see them at family gatherings, funerals, weddings, birthings and any other family social gathering. Two you really feel you have something to offer from your own experience. But it becomes quite clear early on your opinion is not what is wanted. So here is some advice if you don't want an opinion expressed during your melt downs don't call and solicit one.
