A toxic person cut contact with you and saved you the energy of having to cut contact with her. You did nothing wrong, but you can’t help the fact that others are batsh!t crazy even without SZ. She also owns the blame for it if other family is offended, so that’s a twofer. Take the win.
I hardly see my cousins, uncles and aunties, half brothers, nan and all that.
I think its more my fault though. I avoid family a lot. Not that i really want to, its just that i get awkward and anxious as im kinda like the more weird one in the family. Not that they mind at all.
Ive got a big family dinner thing happening nearby in a couple days and im super anxious about it. But at the same time i want to connect with my family. Was so close to them during childhood. Except my half brothers and my dad. Dad passed last year. Only met him the first time a few years ago and my half brothers. I grew up as an only child with single parent. Anyway, i dunno how to give you advice since im not very good at keeping contact. But maybe your step sister is going through it right now or is avoiding for reasons?
I don’t like those things either, but we hardly have them now. Sure it will be fine. If you have some PRN, might be worth taking some to calm before going to it. I am doing that with work right now
Her history doesn’t lend its self to her in a favourable way… Wish it did, but it doesn’t at all
@Joker yeah would love to have a prn but im not prescibed any. Ive got a history of addiction so the pdoc is apprehensious to give me some. Oh well. Thanks for the advice anyway!
@Joker nice. Yeah ive got tons of old antipsychotics laying around of a few different types from when i was one those ones haha. Pretty useless though. They’ll just make me unresponsive and comatose at the dinner. Thats what olanzapine and the like do to me anyway.
Wish i had some diaz laying about! Would be handy haha. Anyway good luck with your current work stresses and step sis.
So my dad was orphaned at age 17 or so because my grandfather died of a heart attack. My dad and his sibilings had a funeral, but his uncle stole all the money that was given to us at the funeral (it’s Korean culture- we give out money so that the family can have less financial burden). Then all of his extended family members abandoned him and pretended like he and his brother didn’t exist. When my dad graduated college and started making decent amount of money, my aunt stole money from him and bought an apartment under her name with his money. The extended family from his side continued to treat us like ■■■■ and my aunt often abused my mother for every little thing she had an eye on.
My dad finally sad enough to 20+ years of gaslighting and abuse, and we stopped holding family reunions because we were pissed off. They didn’t care ■■■■ for one bit when my dad lost his only father. They can do whatever they want with themselves.
Honestly I think their behaviour is vile, too. I get so mad when I talk about them.
