Off the back of a previous post that didn't get much traffic, I've decided to begin distancing myself from my family following an altercation with my brother. He said some nasty things totally unprovoked, and I've now found out they've all had a family day together with me and my family. My brother is a bit of a scumbag and untrustworthy, he is the only sibling that doesn't have a set of keys to my parents house, he sold all my sisters gold one year when we were teens, stolen money etc. He's also beeged my parents for money numerous times, hasnt worked for 10 years, the list goes in. So I can't understand why they expect us both to apologise to each other, when he started the altercation. And then to find out they where all playing happy families today absolutely disgusts me. I'm just thinking of going NC for a while, because I'm finding the cowardice in calling him out on his bs annoying and stupid. I don't want to be around any of them, especially my oldest sister who witnessed everything and is still sitting there acting like it's a shame. It's not a shame, he's a scumbag. Grow a back bone and call him out on it. Anyone else gone NC with family for a while? It will be hard on the little ones, but honestly, I dont want them thinking being passive and mute is a must just because it's family or friends. Call out people's bs.
