I drove myself to my appt on that Thursday. it was a challenging drive back but I did it.

THEN I get a text like half hour after I was back, from my dad asking if I was back yet. I called to ask if he needed something and to inquire about something, ONLY to have my mom answer the phone - she didn't go cuz my sibling didn't need her!!!!!!!

are you sh**ting me?! who can believe that?!?!?!? what a load of blank and all for absolutely nothing, other than a ton of stress and heartache for me...........

I think the only way to come to terms with this is to change your expectations, tell them what your boundaries are and what will happen if they cross them. The other thing is acceptance. It does t mean approval. But their behavior will never change until you change yours.
