Describe a visit to a home where you felt unwelcome
Answers
Answer:
.
Yes, from when I was born. Quick example: sitting up at the dinner table with siblings, all with bookstands perched in front of us, so we’d read and shut up.
After I left home and returned for occasional visits, the degree varied, from ‘tolerated’ to ‘outright unwelcome.’ Sometimes, ‘Oh, you again'
Two times in particular stand out: Christmas a few months before I was due to go overseas. The latest ‘substitute daughter’ was there, we knew and didn’t like each other (with good reason), she was always so loud and noisy. And, I wasn’t wanted. I packed up Christmas Night and left early on Boxing Day (the day after) for a friend’s home some hours’ drive away. Since the route was mainly through back-country and most people still enjoying the holiday, I broke the speed limit the whole way, which I always did getting away from my family; I used to say of that journey that not a single car passed me at all, not that there were many about.
