Sj I'm sorry about this and that you are having to comfort people.
Steph sorry about your aunt.
My family. I love them but our communication skills are not good and we all avoid. My parents are divorced for a reason and they've been spending close to their limit together at the beach.
Dad just blew up at Mom because she was asking my nephew if he was okay in the bathroom (my nephew is almost 6) and if he wanted a shower or bath. Dad got upset because she wasn't repeating my nephew's privacy. Also he's fairly deaf and won't wear hearing aids so I think he missed the part about the shower.
Then mom got upset and I said that everyone needed sometime in separate rooms not seeing it hearing each other (mostly because that is what I need when I get like this).
Also mom was frustrated because dad was "making a fuss" about having stuff for dinner for my brother and his GF when they get in tonight. No me as thinking they wouldn't get in until 9 PM and eat on their way. Dad was expecting them around 6. After checking in they won't get in until 9. But Dad feels it doesn't matter there should be food here and ready for them.
Plus there is other stuff going on.
BUT we we to Wakulla Springs and played in the spring. I did mostly jumping off the platforms but not the really high one. But I thought about it. I didn't even think the water was cold.
