And the punches start rolling in...

This is the email I sent:

Apparently my giving yet another year totaling $X this time as a loan using mom's necklace as collateral does not meet with the approval of our family. I was chastised that I should have been giving and giving with no strings attached.

I am sorry to be such a disappointment to you all. S and E agree that 'Mom has a valid point' rather than defending me.

Why should they? No one defended me when Mom was screaming at me to eat when I was a child and running away crying from the dinner table. That's when the abuse started. How I wish I had gotten away sooner!

I do not want anything from Mom and Dad. Whatever assets may be left can be given to everyone but me.

I will not be contributing to this family in any way any more, as no good deed goes unpunished.

I will not be dealing with any issues for Mom and Dad, including the eventual sale of their condo.

I feel extraordinarily used and hurt. Mom said she is tired of my temper tantrums. Well, you don't have to endure anything from me anymore.

Sadly, there is no remedy. The time for an apology to me has passed.

This is the first responder, sister:

I didn't get this email last night because of internet problems. Anyway, get back in touch with us after you've had time to cool off. Mothers and daughters do battle all the time- you are not alone in this. P and I understand this all too well. And I have never considered you a disappointment, so it's pretty unfair to accuse me of that. I've never heard E say anything like that either. You have no reason to blow us off, so I hope we can talk again soon.

Do any of you see what I see?

I am a person begging for support and validation, pleading for an ounce of empathy.

Sister 1 does not deliver. She invalidates my feelings, patronizing me to 'get back to them when I cool down'. And her only comment is to distort the words of the one way she can defend herself.
