Why does family of all things kick you while you're down? Just causing stress and arguing about petty shit that doesn't make sense, that you could prove point by point doesn't make sense but they keep going. Bitching about shit done to them so hard only to turn around and do it to you. For years and years. Isn't life already bad enough dealing with dumb competitive strangers?
That sucks. Family can be great, but they can also be terrible. Just try to be your best and do your best, and draw up firm boundaries with family. If you're polite and respectful, and they still don't respect your boundaries, you're better off just cutting ties. A family like that is just going to drag you down and take advantage of you. But you should also be open to them apologizing and making a genuine effort to do better later, as long as they're willing to respect your boundaries.
>>34009268Sorry your family is like that OP. Deal with them based on how they treat you and put up appropriate boundaries. For example, I can talk to my father and share anything with him, we call several times a week because we enjoy each others' company. I phone my mother for half an hour on Christmas and her birthday, she is not allowed to see my kids
