I hear you.

I was «lucky»

I was taken abroad by my husbands promotion, so I only see them when I go back.

About 2 years ago, I made it clear i was no longer interested in seeing my father or his side of the family, so I stopped flying over for Christmas.

Now I only go back for my mom and friends and during an event for her side of the family, where I endure my brothers - for now.

We’ll see how long that lasts.

But honest - it’s lifted a weight off my shoulders in a way I wasnt expecting.

And I finally get to enjoy the Yuletide ❤️

100% recommend ;)

Bravo. I don't see this text saying that you should put up with bad behavior from the people in your life. Get clear of them. Just don't look for them to try and amend the harms they have done to you. Let them go. You cant run the race of life you are called to run carrying heavy burdens. Life is far too short and far too precious for that.

Or they’re too sensitive to take accountability for what pain they caused you. It takes good character to understand their point of view with a scenario like that. Also maybe you aren’t accepting how you hurt them either.

I like it, two refutations.

  1. Institutions have money, which means power. They are limited in that they are only composed of humans.
  2. Have you ever felt the feeling you get, when you try to talk with all of your neighbors at least once, only to realize that you do not feel like a peer to them? As in, your opinions or abilities are drastically different to them? THAT, is loneliness. To be among people yet incompatible with them.
