Taking a step back from family [View all]

Both my sister and cousin are fed up, I guess, with my homelife drama. I get it. My sister constantly criticizes every single thing. When you're in an abusive relationship, ppl get burned out and the person becomes more isolated.

Both of them made me feel so burdensome and crappy the last 24 hrs ( I don't tell my cousin much but did call her when partner was drunk on the floor) I think I'll be taking a step back. I already realized my cousin has had a weather change towards me. Prob won't visit me for my bday.

I'm tired of the level of aggression ppl communicate with me with. I'd never communicate with others the way relatives talk to me. I'm probably exhausting. So, I'm taking a step back. When things are bad at home, I'm going to keep it to myself. Others have their own crazy shit going on. I feel sad, but I think its for the best for me bc these interactions just make me feel crummy.

Thnk you to you all. Youre all stand up ppl. Supportive. Kind. Good advice.


I mean if you feel like crying after am interaction, maybe they need to stop. Love to all
