people who know the least are often the most assertive in saying it. I've dealt with this with my family so many times, and now I have learned that my mom simply cannot ever be trusted either to keep a confidence nor to understand what I am telling her. She's not an evil person, but she gets me so angry sometimes when she shares inappropriately or gets herself involved in our business. All we can say is, "she doesn't know better - I can't let her dictate what is right and wrong, I must make those decisions myself." This relative who's giving you grief - why should you care about his opinion? What's his training in this field? You can ignore him or put him in his place. My tendency is to put people in their places, but that's the litigator in me talking - and it's not going to make my mom change her ways...

Hope you feel better soon - ear and otherwise. My perspective on the whole Jax scenario is one of jealousy members of the family. You did good and they could just not handle it so they had to lash out at you. Your heart is in the right place.

Some people just think they know better than anyone else. Can't say anymore because I get too upset about it. Hope you're feeling better soon

Sorry that had to happen to you. It's rough when people we should be able to look to for support try to bring us down.

Hope your ear feels better. Condolences on having *that* sort of family member. You know my feelings on that subject.
