I have this one cousin who got mad at me because I called her a bitch (she is a bitch) and we stopped talking.
Today I was reflecting on my relationship with her and I’m so glad we no longer talk.
I bet she feels the same about me lol
Not saying everyone should tell their family members what they really think of them, but hey it worked out in this case 🤷🏻♂️
i didn't invite a cousin and an aunt to my wedding. my fiancée also didn't invite family members …
spend time with people you love not with people you are supposed to love
Maybe more people should do this… Spend your time with the people who want to spend theirs with yours.
I have a similar story but it involves a parent. I have had more gaslighting and bullshit from people for talking about it than anyone should have to endure. There is a taboo around shunning a family member that many people can't get over. Sometimes ending a relationship is the best thing rather than beating one's head against the same wall again and again.
My dad never came around and died not understanding what happened despite talking to him about it countless times. That part is sad however cutting off communication with my NPD mother (narcissistic personality disorder) has been one of the initially most difficult things I've done in my life. It took me 50 years to do it and my life is now better in every way. I don't even think abojt it any more because the cause has been removed from my life permanently.
TMI but worth sharing
:prepares to get shit upon:
Families can be complicated AF.
I can relate
I have a cousin that confronted my wife (then gf) behind my back and asked her if I was the reason she didn’t get the vax. He didn’t know her entire family refused it 😂. The cousin also doesn’t know that my wife told me he did this (I haven’t confronted him about it).
Family can definitely suck.
everyone i said goodbye to hate to learn - all my friends love to learn
