I agree with you on not having to deal with the ones who are fake in your family. I have tried to do my part in my adopted family. My mom always takes or thinks of my brother all the time for how he will feel. When it comes to me nothing is ever wrong, I am lying. Enough is enough. I told my mom I don't need him in my life and that she needed to leave me out of trying to be his good sister and help him. Put my foot down and told her no no more, not even to his wife or my neice they are just fake. Only speaking to me when they need help. Hell no don't need them any more in my life. We deserve friends and family who really care and it is up to us to stand up for ourselves.
