The Second Blow of Sadness

I do not know why I am having sadness lately. My mom and her younger sister fought last night. The root cause is the possibility of moving out from our current place to one of my aunt's apartments. To cut it short, her promises were meant to be broken. Aside from this issue, she had said so many bad things to us. In the ending, my mom felt there is no use in being connected with her. How do you handle people who are ungrateful to your kindness? Image Credit: miro.medium.com

So why do you and your mother need to move out of your home?

That's a good question. My aunt offered her apartment for us because we wanted to build our new house and buy land soon. To cut it short, we can lessen the expenses, and no need to pay for the rental apartment here.

@Shavkat Her kind deed would have helped you, but your aunt changed her mind.

@kobesbuddy I must admit it can help us in some way.

kindness is a flower we plant and tend. it sadly can be watered by tears. We do our best to help everyone and when they don't welcome that, or reject it, we move on.

I agree. For now, we are accepting the fact that relatives are not that helpful in times of difficulties.

@DocAndersen I do think that people changed through the years of existence. I agree that some people are there during the fun times only.

@Shavkat some are, some are not. it is if they are helpful when times easy that sometimes is the telling factor...

Cut them off completely. Of course, it is easier said than done. Hope this is sorted out.

We did it on my father's side early this year. It will likely happen to my mother's side.

@Shavkat The first sin of jealousy was committed by two brothers Cain and Abel.

@allknowing In fact, my mother's sister did this.

The reason is that she does not want to share her blessings in life. I do not know why she hated us that much.

Now, we do not have relatives on both my parents' sides. I am in the process of accepting the ugly truth about them.

i try to think of them nicely, maybe that was her response while she was angry. give it some time and talk again when they're both calm. it will be fine, keep being kind and take care.

I do not think she needs more time to realize what had happened. We gave her a month to think it over. If she really does not want us to go to her place, it is just a matter of saying yes or no. It is not acceptable to say more than this word.

@aureategloom Well, her explanations are not acceptable for us. Don't be worried. We just need to move on.

@Shavkat well, maybe it's a NO, but she has a good explanation for it. you should listen to what she has to say.

Well, there are really bouts of depression that happen to us now and then especially with what you just experience with your aunt on having her promise broken again. But please observe that sadness you feel, if that stays longer than 14 days you might be already entering into medical depression. But if it naturally goes on before that time it is a normal reaction of you to your experiences around.

Don't be worried. I just ignore the fact about them. All I know is that my family and I accepted that we do not need to be connected with them.

I'm sorry to hear it, There are so many people like that, I choose not to respond to that person because if I respond to someone like that, I will continue to feel sad and it might affect my health. I really understand your feelings, it must be very sad to see it

I appreciated that you can feel me with this concern. This is the second time that my aunt said something against us. I must say that she has two faces.
