My case is equal to yours but opposite in the sense that when my dad passed away, everything went downhill. It seems as everybody took their masks off, including myself.
Each day I cope worse with hypocrisy, it’s meaningless and when I see fake things, I begin to disengaging more and more from people who I perceive as such. I never have any problem with it when it happened to me with people outside the family but I never thought that it was gonna happen with close relatives. Kind of cultural stuff, I guess, that increases my incredulity but thinking in a rational way is completely understandable. The members in some families happen to understand and create strong bonds but in many cases, it doesn’t happen and I experience this last case.
