Background, my family are a toxic cesspit who I try to have as little contact with as possible. But they are still my family and cutting ties all together is hard.
5 months ago I had a serious accident. Broke my elbow, badly injured my hip, and completely exploded my shoulder. I had reconstructive surgery on my shoulder and have had my arm and shoulder immobilsed ever since. I've developed CRPS and the healing process has been very, very slow.
Last week my consultant finally said the bones have healed enough to move again. So now I begin 12 to 18 months of physiotherapy to get the use of my arm back.
I posted a selfie of myself on Facebook posing with thumbs up and without the immobiliser sling saying I'm finally allowed to move again.
Yesterday my mother rings me as she wants a lift to Tesco. I was gobsmacked. I've been to hell and back the last 5 months and she hasn't contacted me once. Zero interest from her. I tell her I can't drive yet. I really can't. I can't extend my arm or lift it. She accused me of being selfish and lying as she'd seen my FB post. I explained that being allowed to move it doesn't mean I'm able to move it. Then she hung up on me.
So now I've got messages from my siblings calling me out on my selfishness.
I'm done with the lot of them. Friends, neighbours, DH's family, work colleagues, even complete strangers have lifted my up and carried me through this (literally in the case of complete strangers) and my family haven't given a shit.
AIBU to use this as the kick up the arse I need to finally block the whole bloody lot of them.
