Would you distance yourself?

[malificent7]

Step mum moans that I have distanced myself. I have partly as Imiss my late mum and dad got together with dsm 5 months after. Bit mostly as I get a lot of snide comments about my work.
"You must be stressed" said with great relish not empathy.

When commenting that working 5 days a week, Monday-Friday , 9-5 was my shift pattern for the following week i got " that's an awful lot" i had to remind her this is normal.

Conversely my job is also " cushty." It aint.
She was positively beaming when I lost a job. Why does she do. this?

She is retired and enjoying the high life.

It's hard to tell who's being unreasonable. You sound like you just don't like her tbh, and if that is the case then you are absolutely free to distance yourself.

It sounds just like you don't like her. Understandably so soon after your Mum.

You sound like you don't like her.

You can have a polite but distant relationship with family members you have to put up with to see family members you like.

You're allowed to distance yourself from whoever you like. Or don't like.

I'd just ignore her complaint. You have distanced yourself, that's your choice.
