Ok here's this crazy story about my stupid mom!! I'm 29 mother of two my youngest sister is 23 with one child and noes lives with my mom. I went to my moms house one Sat to get back some items my sister had came to my house and stole, when I got there my sister goes off on me all in my face!! I gave her a warning to back off she wouldn't so we fought and I really beat her down!! She calls my mom and the police and my moms tells me not to ever come back to her house again!!! My mom doesn't want to hear anything about what really happened, just says I'm wrong!!! I feel like my mom should have never taken sides, but she did and if I never talk to her again I won't be sad at all!! And if my sister can't get over it then we don't have to talk either!!!
Are You Normal?
Ask your question today!
mind you, I have a crazy sister who has a way of bringing out the worst in even the most calm and patient people like myself-so I can understand to an extent, but we never let our disagreements cross over into actual fighting.
but the best thing to do is cut people out of your life that are destructive and cause trouble-why put up with all this drama?
as for expecting your mom to take your side, she might not be objective-plus you are in the same family patterns you were in as children.
try to find better ways to get along with your family if you still want them in your life-you be the adult if they can't, otherwise cut them out.
I get along well with all my family members except the crazy sister I mentioned. But I'm better off keeping a distance from her than allowing her to bring trouble into my life.
I'm sure they probably do-but they need to learn to respect other people's boundaries.
I used to have a serious hatred for my dad. He was a scumbag of a man-at least towards me. However as I grew older, got more assertive and eventually lived on my own everything changed.
Now I see him as a friend and a source of great and indispensable advice-he's matured in his life and so have I. And hindsight being 20/20 while he was a bad father when I was younger, he was not as terrible as I used to think, compared to most dads. Plus I think I expected too much out of him.
Anyways good luck with your family.
But I agree
