DP extended family who we circumstantially have to see are a bit of a nightmare but have gotten worse over time.
They are the type of two faced, overly nice to your face but different behind the scenes. They will go out of there way to do something for you/give you something (you don’t want, don’t need, didn’t ask for and you PUSH BACK ON) and then they will Slag you to the hills / moan that you made them do xyz or have taken their xyz. It’s odd.
It all come to abit of a blow a couple of months ago where major lies were told about an incident where they did something wrong (not to me directly) but I seen them lie through their teeth and it made me very anxious to be around them . If they could lie about that, what could they lie about next (it was big lies - don’t want to give to much away but it could have caused alot more drama than it thankfully did)
I tried to go LC and distance myself a little. Still giving facebook likes here and there. Text every now an then. I was happy to attend any events etc. However now they have essentially been slagging me off to other family members that I am not giving them enough attention, not telling them about plans and excluding them (I have not excluded them from anything and bottom line, they are DP family and his responsibility!!!)
I want to just get on peacefully for DP sake and because I hate conflict. How do I show up to the next event with a brave face and blank all this drama out? It’s making me so upset and I feel it’s going to escalate. I just want space for my own wellbeing!
