Put an end to it

[wifey6]

As alot of my previous post state...I do not have a good relationship with my sisters. Well...after the support & advice from fellow MNetters....I have put a stop to it. The final straw was being left out of another family meal. I messages my sister & politely trying talkin things through. Of which she retaliated being spiteful. Although I insisted I did not want further contact til they could respect me...she sent awful..hurt messages til I had to turn my phone off. I have deleted them from my FB & although the messages were vicious...I feel I finally stood up for myself.

. Now you can move on. Well done.

Sparklingbrook...thank you. It has been a very long time in the making...but it's got to the point where it's affecting me really badly. Today however, is a new day...

Exactly. You must feel very liberated. Have a great day.

Thank you so much...have a great day too.

Well done, life is too short for nastiness

Did you have a good day yesterday wifey? Still feeling positive?

Hi sparklingbrook...had a bit of a down day yesterday as it appears my mum is also distancing herself (although I feel this is so she isn't involved). But have bounce right back today & feel loads better. Thank you so much for thinking of me. It's people like yourself that give me the belief that I can move on from all this nastiness. It's very much appreciated.

That's good wifey. I was worried that after the initial relief you might have a bit of a downer at some point. Onward and upward as they say, one day at a time.

Thank you so much

I'm really pleased to read that! There is no need to keep people like that around just because they're family. You wouldn't put up with it from a random person or friend. Good for you x

Thank u thatboysmum...I never would of dreamt of sticking up for myself let alone shutting them out of my life...until I got the support from MNetters! I've been overwhelmed with kindness & support & it's sad to say but I've had more support in the 2 months from MNetters than I have had in years from my sisters!
Thank you all so much

Well done wifey, now you are back in control. You can decide what contact if any-you want with them. Personally l think you are better off without them in your life. They only hold the power to hurt you if you let them.
Remember " friends are the family we chose for ourselves".
stay strong and have a hug

doha...thank you for your message. I agree...& I do have lovely friends who do make me happy. I also do feel like I have regained control...as even though I am a wife & mum..they treated me like an incompetent child. Thank you once again. All messages make me more sure of my decision & strength to walk without them!

Hi...I just want to thank everyone who posted advice & support on this thread & my other related ones. Thanks to all the support I have no had contact with my sisters since & feel sooo much happier for not doing so. I expected to feel sad but I feel liberated & really moving on with my life properly. Thank you all so much for your kindness!

hey :)

I am so glad you are making progress... I just want to say that I am amazed at the crap we all put up with, me especially!

We take so much abuse and rudeness and cruelty from people, why? just because they are 'friends', or, 'family'... MN has really made me look at things from a totally different point of view. Every day I learn something, something good, from MN :)
