Some of my family is understanding, some not. My sister Mickey is really snobby and thinks she knows everything about everything. She doesn't. She has no clue about mi. She put my son down recently and we got in a big fight. She was drunk. She favors my sister Kim's kids. My sister Lisa and Kathy don't know anything about mi either. They just think I'm lazy etc...
I just learned not to talk to them about it. My sister Mickey and Lisa are here right now for Christmas. I've barely talked to them since they've been here. I don't talk to them about what's going on with my son. They live together and make good money but are both severe alcoholics. Just high functioning. It's hard not having their support. They treat me like I'm way below them.
But my sisters Kim and Heather are understanding. That's who I go to for support.
I'm the youngest too btw and both my parents have passed.
