This means something. Well, yeah, obviously. But its like you are not your own person, but you cannot stand the family's definition of you either.

The problem comes when they cannot accept your definition of yourself. My brother once told me he could not approve of what i was doing. I think the main thing was that i was divorced and not submitting myself to a man. This he said after he interfered in my best relationships. So they sabotage your future, then they punish you for it.

You have your freedom. Women of a certain age often do, at least in this culture. Its a gift and a curse.

Your situation was similar to mine. The "family" said horrible things and accused me of things I've never done. They turned on my husband and kids telling them they were no good and calling my husband awful names.
I'm so sorry this is going on with you . Don't bother asking for an apology ; it would mean nothing.

Your mother is taking up way too much headspace in my opinion. The fact that you have to think and analyze her behaviors and guess at what her motives are lead me to believe that last contact is better with her.

I was trash to them because they don’t value me. No matter all the good I did. I am of very little value to most everyone. It’s absolutely true, tbh. I really have no value. That’s why they treat me like trash. I am disposable to them. I am even lower than disposable. They don’t care enough to dispose of me. I am merely invalid.

But that’s ok. I sure do matter to ME. I will take my marbles and go find some other kid who wants to play...

Also, I was trash because I allowed myself to be treated as such.

I suppose you know that this is too much negative self talk? It sounds a little like depression. We become what we think we are. I find you are insightful and humorous. Once you get your divorce behind you, I think you will find somebody or something that brings you more joy. I really do.

I know and you’re right.

It’s just that I’ve really gotten it from all sides.

Of course, I understand, I am the common denominator— but, it wasn’t JUST ME. I have documented examples of major dis’s. I’ve never been one to explode over little things, or have unrealistically high expectations. I feel I have valid, realistic expectations of the people who profess to love me and then don’t act lovingly!

attentionThis is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.
