Poison. In your blood

Months and months have passed since my last entry. Well I can say...that I have been ok. Big changes have occured in my life, for the good - with my work at least. I have stopped downing pills like they were my tool for breathing. However....yes there is always a but..my younger sister. She is poison..and aggressive (she has tried to stab me, hit, me, you name it, always been competitive, went out with the boy that I lost my virginity with and vindictive. A person that is apparently a " perfect prodigy child"??? Even though I do the right thing, believe in karma and help people. Oh no - thats not good enough, I have to live in a cha-ching suburb and keep up with the jones's. She has never worked a day in her life... but me...yes I work my ass off everyday. I work hard for my children and my life..and I like working hard...it makes me feel good.
The saying is " YOU CAN CHOOSE YOUR FRIENDS BUT YOU CAN'T CHOOSE YOUR FAMILY" I don't beleive that anymore. because my friends are pure love and support and 95% of my family are POISON....nothing but poison...

Hi itsonlyme,

Firstly,Thanx for commenting on my last post, however I deleted that post to write up something more recent, so deleted your comment as it didnt relate to what I have just written....sorry.

Sorry to hear that your Sis is like that towards you....There is one in every family though. Shame your Mum seems to be taking her side too....so not fair.

Being a mum myself with two girls in their 20's, I listen to both their points of view on what they feel about each other and I try to liase in a positive way to help them understand each other a bit better thus bringing them closer.

Yes I agree family can be Poison at times. It sounds like you feel betrayed by your Mum and your sister with good cause too. I have found friends to be more loyal too.

(((((hugs)))))

All the best and take Care of yourself,

Kind regards Lori :)

I totally empathise with you. I coped a punch in the face from my darling younger bro! (and my father threatened if I pressed charges he'd testify against me)Familys can be very painful and there is no furthur truth that yes it really does hurt, but Ive learnt from mine - 'Love em from a distance!'. Love them, love them and love them some more, - about 170km away works for me! Close enough to duck home for a visit, far enough to keep out of the path of 'cyclone family!!'

be strong.

Glad things on the whole are going well for you.

Sorry family relationships have turned to poison. You are right, you can't pick your family but you can pick your friends - if your friends are there for you then take them instead of the family.

Go Itsonlyme!!!
