Re: What time is it? Rant time!

[(Anonymous)]

I've learned from my family not to express myself and to keep my needs bottled up and to bend to everyone else.

I think it was Captain Awkward who said recently that survival skills learnt in harsh family situations as a child translate into maladjustment in the wider world; I just went "ouch" at that!

I've used the phrase "I can't win" with someone and been told, in a high and mighty fashion, that it isn't about winning and losing. (Now I use "damned if I do, damned if I don't.)

Sisters and indeed families as a whole should be close and supportive. It's a tough world, what's to be gained from tearing someone else down? And yet they do it. My sister has blocked me because a)I said that due to my own severe health issues I can't look after my mother any more, who is seriously ill and b) wouldn't reveal the exact nature of my GI issues. I mean, who wants to talk about their bowel movements??

Most of my health issues are due to lifelong stress because I had not one but two elder sister who ganged up on me because, I dunno, I was little? They can't figure out why I never had children.

Ugh. Sisters. Hold onto your own sense of self, OP, and very best of luck.
