After reading you for years & knowing how hard it's been for you to separate from the "but she's my mom" mentality", I really hope that this stuff stops - for your sake. Nobody needs family like this.<BR/><BR/>I also think counseling will do wonders on working through this issue.

But I also think your mom and sister need help. Has all this just risen, or have they always been like that?Taniahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05209779685063875748noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4163584592299139116.post-78147662752995633532009-03-16T20:20:00.000-07:002009-03-16T20:20:00.000-07:00Right!

The titles our family members are afforded by virtue of being blood related are often terribly misleading. The word "sister" or "mother" conjures up a particular definition of behavior/relationship that may not be at all accurate.<BR/><BR/>In this case, both of these people sound like they are not stable. It would be nice if they fit the definition of sister/mother that is kind and decent, but they do not. This means you could never have had that "getting along" time regardless. Understanding that and coming to terms with it will take some time. <BR/><BR/>In the meantime, do seek counseling to help you through this. It's never easy to face the harsh reality that our family members are not who we want them to be. HUGS!!Lawfroghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07099970602815308684noreply@blogger.com
