Family sucks

[Justmehere]

Ouch. Families of origin sometimes really do suck. I’ve been through a couple of different but smiler experiences with no solutions to avoid the pain. Ripped my heart apart. Sorry you had to deal with that.

IDK. It's easy to hate them till they're all gone. On the other hand my wife forced me to allow my mother in my lif whom I would never have spoken to again as long as I lived.

My mom got an"good run" out of it and played her role to perfection.

That's because when we first rescued her from getting put out on the street and she started "working" me, I got her alone and I told her she'd behave or she'd be gone.

She never really challenged me again after that I guess she figured she had it too good.

She did.

I still resent it but even that I did for my wife. That's not really true I let her do that to me is much more correct. I resent that I couldn't stand up for myself even about a thing like that and I couldn't leave her.

There were so many boundaries like that she broke down in me. I really hated her for making me do that stuff. IDK how I feel about it all now.

So yeah family sucks but when they are all dead and gone it gives you a different perspective.

Now I'm the dad on the holiday. Can someone text me please or call me?
