We have a reunion planned for July, but one sibling was getting upset because she has to come the farthest so the family is against her and blah blah blah, so I finally just brought it up and kind of called her out a little. I was super careful what I said, but I didn't give in to her demands and agree to do what she wanted. So now I am the biggest b***h in the world and she will never speak to me again. And the thing is, she really probably won't. And I don't even think I care. I'm sick of all of it. My parents hate me anyway, and I've "ruined the family" already, so oh well. That's three of the 5 siblings that seriously despise me now too. But it's all for reasons that I am okay with. I reported one of my brothers to CPS for abusing his kids. I've not taken their crap and stood up for what is right and not stood by and let them abuse each other and me, and for that I am an outcast.
wow ellie that is brave . it is great to be able to stand up for yourself and also speak up for the kids.it still must hurt because it is your siblings. sounds like you just shut down
