Surprise phone call / myLot

Centralia, Washington

October 9, 2019 2:56pm CST

For all you fine folks who have normal, loving family, go you! One of my sisters called me. What to say about her? She's a physical wreck. Her health makes her sound like she is eighty not seventy. Her phone call left tons too much baggage for me to think about. I need to declutter my heart cause of the phone call. My mental closet needs to be deep cleaned now. Her son pushed her down?? What? I never trusted that guy and I always wondered how he got such a fantastic house when he has never held a normal job in his life. On and on..... family visited my Mom's grave site but nobody invited me to go on the trip. Got to deep breath this out. And renew my resolve to never live near any of my family. Ever. Keep them away. Far away. My heart can't stand being near them and their illness. And yet I am sorry for the sister who called me. We had good times together at one point. She has been the down to earth one. I guess all parties come to an end sometime.

Sometimes you just have to eliminate the drama in your life.

What an absolutely awful man her sons to do that to anyone especially a woman AND his mother! Sounds like your sister needs you to be there for her now to listen but sometimes it is so mentally exhausting.

@shaggin I told my sister that she should have called the cops. I'm glad she got out of that house in one piece.

Some people are toxic. We just have to get away from them for our own sanity.

What I do is send them all a silent prayer and hope it gets through to them.

I have no immediate family left, just my uncle is the one I talk to. Avoid the drama. I feel your pain.

I think every family has some baggage. A black sheep or two. It is so hard to do the tough love we have to do sometimes. Yes, all parties do come to and end at some point. Growing up and moving through life isn't always easy on our hearts.

I don't have family I talk to anymore, I basically divorced my only sibling and since I haven't seen any of my cousins since I was about 13 I'd say I have no need for them now. Sometimes friends make better 'family' than family does.
