Sister and I are in a deep freeze. I finally put my foot down and said no more abuse. Huge fight. Standing my ground. It is upsetting though. She thinks I need to make caring for mom and brother my full time job and that I’m not doing enough. Excuse me?!?
I’m feeling very melancholy today. I’ve been taking my meds consistently so it’s probably just the things I mentioned and concerns with my boyfriend.
I hope everyone has a peaceful day.  |
Sending you hugs, Jennifer. Please do keep standing your ground. Not sure why your sister feels she can dictate something for you that I'm assuming she does little of.
It's hard for adult children to quickly accept girl/boyfriends of divorced or widowed parents. I know, having had to accept my dad's old girlfriend. But there's a big difference between my dad and you. You seem to have your feet firmly on the ground. He didn't. Hugs
