Fuzzy, how sad, isn't it, this blame game that seems to harm people, still playing out in our families?
When will people see the premise is wrong. It's unhealthy. It harms people and steals relationships that matter to us, meant to be loving.
Hopefully, someone will 'get it' and instruct us on the wide screen about why this is wrong... because we have advanced in so many areas of life, making things easier, attainable, understandable, except with family, notice?
I hope you let this roll of your back, Dear Fuzzy ... as their lessons aren't learned yet, that is up to others to receive, so don't waste time dwelling on 'their' stuff.
Live your life fully in the present, and go wherever you want, whenever, no matter who is there ... and look 'em in the eye if you have to ... and say 'No, you do not get to go there with me, that is not what I want or need for anyone'.
They are bringing on themselves their own problem, see?
Don't take it on.
Something I learned later in life, but I'm so glad, since it brought me true peace. I wish that peace of mind for you re: family too! xoxoxo
Peace and Love,
night
