Yes, I suppose that perhaps I could have told Mercedes personally what a nuisance I think that she actually is and how I do not care to chat with her about personal matters. Ok, so I am a coward about confrontations, I had my mother do it for me. It is bad enough having a confrontational sister and then you want me to confrontationalize other people as well. There is a point where I can't function with all these confrontationalists always screaming in my face. I just want to be at peace with myself at least.
