 (Nick Galifianakis for The Post) | Adapted from an online discussion. Hi Carolyn: Instead of a traditional baby shower, loved ones threw me a five-person gathering in my backyard, and others were invited to drive by. One friend who has been quarantining offered to stay afterward to help me with gifts. My sister begged me for weeks to join in the intimate gift-opening "after-party." I didn't want her to. I love her, but she has not really been careful about covid. I just didn't feel comfortable, but gave in. And now, six days later, she has just announced she tested positive. I am furious. She knows I have a major guilt complex and probably knew she would be able to wear me down. And now she has put me and my family at risk. (I'm getting tested today and my anxiety is through the roof.) I'm not sure how to approach this in the aftermath: call her up and yell at her, saying this is exactly what I wanted to avoid, or just let it go and never ever let this happen again? — Asserting Myself After the Fact |
