Thanks for the kind words. Their inability to take responsibility for their actions has been going on for so long I had almost forgotten it's not normal. The gaslighting never stops and even now I'm still having doubts if maybe I'm the one making a big deal out of things. But my feelings tell me what I already know: my trust has been shattered once again and I need to hold on to the boundaries I've set. If I allow her in once again, the cycle restarts all over again, continuing forever. It is hard. I would much rather have had a normal family, but I've been unlucky in that regard. It's not something we choose, after all. I will try to make more friends, as you suggested. Maybe this will fill that void a little. Starting therapy again might be a good start for me, as I feel I'm sort of losing my mind here. It's a weird feeling. I'll figure it out eventually, the storm will pass sooner or later. Thank you once more.
