My sister just texted asking if I have plans for Thanksgiving. I replied our plans and asked hers. She texted back something about putting plenty of bourbon in the sweet potatoes, lol. So she did finally reach out to me and is trying to keep it simple.

She told me to never speak of the argument again. So I just have to contend with this feeling of being blamed for something that wasn’t fully my fault. It was her daughter who started it, took it to another level, twisted it and told my sister an ‘alternate truth’ version which biased her against me. So I just have to let that go. I’m fine with my niece now. Never really had a relationship with her anyway.

It’s my sister I’m so hurt by. She judged me harshly, took nasty jabs at me about things I confided in her about, and the worst hurt of all— said I’m just like our mother!
And what’s with ‘I’m done with this whole F’n family!’?

My other sister refused to give me one ounce of compassion. Last i spoke to her, she was getting an oil change and couldn’t talk to me when I poured my heart out!

My mom (the puppet master) and dad ended off in mom calling me names, twisting her web of lies, and dad supposedly validating her lies but refusing to talk to me about it.

Yes, it’s a really toxic family and I am beaten. There’s no arguing with crazy. I couldn’t defend myself, get them to see my POV, or get one ounce of compassion, even when asking for compassion!

Should I continue polite recipe text?
