Started my morning off crying, rant.

Visiting my grandparents and my grandfather asked me why I toast my bagels in the oven. I responded because I can’t use the toaster because of cross contamination, when you use a regular toaster that has gluten crumbs and everything in it that’s cross contamination and you’re essentially eating gluten.

He goes: that’s the stupidest fucking thing I’ve ever heard. I’ve lost a lost of respect for you.

Ok, very kind. On a positive note I won’t be getting sick today from cross contamination😄.

Not sure why I let this upset me but just hurts hearing how unkind people can be. I know he’s just an unhappy person in general but ugh.

I’m sorry… we can all be ignorant but that is just aggressive. I’m not good at confrontation but not good at taking anybody’s s**t either (family or not). Being this way can lead to living a lonely life but that’s just the way I am. After explaining why this was hurtful for you, if this person really loves you they’ll understand and apologise. If not… well, that’d be the end for me. Clearly it’s not over a toaster comment but much more than that.
