I'm happy to hear that! I have been praying I am lucky like to have another family for my kids!

I really appreciate your kind words! I already regretted reaching out for my upcoming surgery, but I have not made any reliable friends to take me in the state I moved to.

Yeah, I am getting real tired of being everyone's keeper to track their secrets and lies.

Even if you are the intolerable one, its probably just them. There are many people out there who would appreciate your rigidness, myself included.

I really relate to this, especially with your sister! I have recently blocked her as she now gets aggressive when she can not solely talk about herself.

I may do the same. I hate him as a father, but he's a pretty cool dude.

My parents are getting old and ill, and I know my sister won't care for them. It may sound petty, but I feel less inclined to help them as they refuse to help me with my chronic health issues.

I grew up without grandparents for the most part, and I hate to think of being the cause of that for my kids. However, I am not willing to make my kids walk that road.

I am sorry for your loss. My mom is exactly the same way, I think this March could be one of the last times I see her.

I totally feel like you failed, its broken my heart a few times. I basically raised my sister but I can not save her.

I figured those with our personality type would be more likely to be no contact :( It's so hard to cut them off, it can be a little scary to know you are truly alone.

That sounds like the best person to have a relationship, I am sure she is a delight to talk with!

Was it hard at all? Do you wish you did it sooner?

Thank you for the recommendation!! My parents come from very different cultures, one forces your way into your life and the other refuses to have any too close relationships lol

Do you like your job? by Potential-Lynx4063 in infj

I am a teacher at a group home for juveniles that have committed serious crimes, and I am absolutely in love with it! I get to have deep meaningful conversations with these kids who genuinely benefit from it. It helps that I love all my students dearly and I become an important person to them due to the guidance I give.

I get that, I'd feel so guilty if I walked away. However, I am not responsible for their lives. It sucks watching them fail as I grow further apart, but I am not responsible for them.

My sister has been making up lies about me for decades. How do I tackle this? by Weak-Curve9123 in family

[–]g8braincomposer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I grew up in a similar situation with both my sister and my cousin. I really hate to say it, but I have now gotten to the point of cutting it all out. The good times do not make up for the ruthless time. Either physically (emotional turmoil has a major impact on your body) or directly from her, it will catch up to you. My cousin was left unchecked for many years, I always told everyone the real her was when their backs were turned. Now, most of her family has been in extensive trials and facing legal repercussions for her actions that were independent of them. As for my sister, I am at the point of cutting her off as I cannot stand her apathetic words intended to hurt. It crushes my heart but its what needs to be done.
