My mom was talking with my sister on speaker phone about going out to eat before the symphony today and she was being her usual hateful and hostile self. I said I’m not doing this and left the room. She really started screaming then.

I calmly texted my sister that I didn’t think she knew how hateful she can be and that I would no longer be around that behavior when she acts out. She texted back that she was sorry and that I am correct... she is hateful. I’m elated that I finally set a firm boundary with my sister and put her on notice about her behavior and that I stood up for myself in a diplomatic way.

Going to the symphony’s holiday presentation today with family. Looking forward to it.

Hugs to all.
