Have NC but been around years (Pom bears, naive ham, cutter up pear, penis beaker, etc)
Have limited contact with most of family - multiple reasons and NC with other for many, many years.
However, uncle was dying and family was in denial leaving my aunt alone with the situation / them not visiting. I travelled to see them (as no one else would basically) - uncle was my dad's brother and aunt is the married in family.
Anyway, I never felt well liked as a child but over the years have reasoned this out and counter many of the negative messages parents, etc delivered to me. I don't buy into the crap basically and see it for what it is - their issues...
However, during the dog my aunt suddenly said 'It's amazing really. You were such a horrible child. Some of the things you said made me want to box your ears I couldn't imagine liking you as an adult but we get on so well now'
To say I was a bit shocked is an understatement- I just mumbled and changed the subject. It was months ago but it has me wondering - I can't get my head round it. Was I a 'horrible child' (ok if it was the case- I didn't have a happy childhood) or was she not a very nice adult?
Help me make sense of it please....
