the values we were all raised with was to say, how in the world could you do that to your sister???? you need to make restitution. no, i'm over that part, but i made a good decision to get a healthy distance from unhealthy ppl...my siblings. if i had been the other sib i would have said just what i just wrote. i don't excuse them for their inability to put in their 2 cents worth in, if nothing else to be there for me emotionally. i was left with not a penny to my name! i had to go to food banks to eat! i had no means to live. my firends from pa. came down, packed up my belongings and took me to their home in pa. that's what families do..but in my case it was wonderful, loving friends that saved my life.
it wasn't about getting in the middle of anything....it was about a sister wronged and robbed. maybe you can see something i don't but my value system and my strength in my own self would have allowed me to be there for my sibling. it wasn't about taking sides.
that's like seeing a person being beaten senseless on the street and ppl walking by saying, i don't want to get in the middle of this!! it's happened so i know some ppl have this sick way of thinking. oh i'll shut up.
