| Topic | How do you deal with self centered loved ones? |

My father's side of the family I rarely see (other than my one aunt occasionally), but that's less family drama and more just that everyone in that family is mostly older, busy, and kind of scattered, so we just drifted apart. But I'm still friendly enough with them if I see them at some social occasion or another (at this point in life, mostly funerals). But my mother's side of the family I've actively disowned. I go out of my way to avoid them at all costs, and as far as I'm concerned, they're effectively dead to me. In my world, they do not exist. And most of them live way closer than my father's relatives do, so in their case it's active avoidance rather than just distance and apathy. Muscles posted... Am I wrong for being angry about this? No, but as others have already pointed out, if it bothers you that much and yet you still refuse to man up and actually do something about it, you're also part of the problem. Shitty people get away with being shitty because other people facilitate their shittiness. If neither you nor anyone else in your family ever put your foot down, she will never stop being shitty - and you will 100% deserve it. At which point, you are wrong for being angry, because you're the reason why it's happening. --- "Wall of Text'D!" --- oldskoolplayr76 "POwned again." --- blight family ... Copied to Clipboard! |
