This
I had to 'do a brooklyn' and walk away from my whole family due to my mothers actions (they all stood by her as they all knew they'd be next if they didnt)
Im not saying its all her fault,but its very hard and even more painful to leave behind the people who should have loved you and share your dna
I've had the whole 'spoilt brat' 'nepo baby' and 'how can she do that to you after all youve done for her?' (I admit not on the world stage and a lot less money sloshing around but the end result is the same)
My mother (and the rest of them) dine out on their feelings,how hurt they are even though it was their own actions that did it and sod me,the spoilt,nasty and selfish brat who walked away
People dont walk away from loving and supportive families,they walk away when they've run out of options and feel they have to throw in the towel
Dp has taken a lot of flack for 'forcing' me to drop all contact and that ill go running back once our relationship falls apart (we'll gloss over the fact I walked away 5 years before I met him)
Some familes hide behind the scapegoat and no matter what that person does,they'll always be the one in the wrong
