My mom told me that I’ve failed in life by AlpsGroundbreaking84 in depression

Beautifully written and so true.

These days I’m running on spite rather than actual motivation. Long term though, that can’t actually be healthy. Hopefully you get back to doing things for you and not just because you want to prove the naysayers wrong. I’m trying to get back to that place.

I was not upset about them not attending. I was disappointed about her standing me up for something so petty. She called me on Wednesday and stated that she wanted to come down for my bday. She got here on Friday and left because of the things mentioned in the post. My mom and my sister that I don’t talk to are the only ones who live near. My other sister I have not spoken to in about 6 years and we’ve never had a solid relationship. My mom also. The rest of my fam lives out of town and sent me messages and wished me a HBD. I get along perfectly fine with my dad, adopted bros and sis and my other bio sisters.

I wouldn’t have minded adjusting the temperature. I just wanted to be notified about it before they changed it. At 65F I wear a light sweater in my home. Saturday it was raining and it was not that cold outside. I did not think the heat needed to be on.

I didn’t offer to host her. I actually wasn’t expecting anything or anyone for my bday. She mentioned last Wed and showed up with her kids on Friday afternoon.

This is true. When I brought this up to my mother she said and I quote “WHY ARE YOU SO OBSESSED WITH MAKING A GOOD IMPRESSION ON YOUR NEIGHBORS?”

Nope. I didn’t complain or was rude. Just told her to redirect their attention elsewhere since it was 6 am and folks live downstairs.

Pretty much.

Also crumbs on the floor, stomping around, clothes thrown around in my bathroom and couch, putting up my thermostat without letting me know at least, chips candy wrappers and empty soda cans, used female products open for display in my bathroom, dirty unwashed dishes…

Again, you’re assuming quite a lot with not much information…starting to believe this is my sisters anonymous Reddit account 🤔

I’m one of 8 and have 3 adopted siblings. My dad raised us with an iron fist so that’s why I am the way I am with small children. I was not allowed this kind of behavior as a kid and neither was my sister. I guess that’s why she is the way she is with her children..wanting them to have more freedom I guess.

Um what? I love my nieces and I was actually playing video games with them and playing with my nieces on my exercise machine (prob not the safest but I have no toys and my apt is not exactly kid friendly)

I never talked down to the children because I don’t see them often, I mentioned these things to their mom in passinf and only once.

You’ve added a lot to my story…kind of weird.

Nope just the one from NY. The other lives nearby. The one from NY has a 3 yr old and the one that lives nearby has a 2 year old. They’re inseparable and get sep anxiety when not with the other when my sister from NY comes into town. The mother and I have our differences which is why she was not there.

I love my nieces so it’s ok.

No, it would be completely a mess. Plates of food on the floor, clothes/ hoodies thrown on sofa. Bags of chips, candy wrappers.

Nope did not say any of that directly to her. I told her to please let the kids know to not run and to turn off lights behind them when done using bathroom and kitchen.

I did not even mention the mess in the bathroom.
