It was killing me

I told our mother that the recent legal troubles in our family were killing me.  I said that I believed it would take at least a year off my already shortened life.  That made no matter to her. She took the stand to discredit me.  She gives shelter and money to one of the criminals in our family. He committed crimes against me. When I confided in her, she took all of the information back to the criminal. She betrayed me.  I know we will never see each other alive again, unless by accident. We will never speak. My sister said, “It’s easier if you pretend they’re dead.”

  1. Love your blog! I was actually going to write about my own dysfunctional family when I ran into you, then again my family seems normal compared to yours, aside from my own mistakes – pregnancy at 16, marriage and divorce, just feeling dysfunctional :) … Are you in Florida? I’m from fort myers…

    • We’re not in FL.

      You should start your own blog! I’ll link to it!

      It’s unreal how much sickness there is out there and how it has long lasting effects on people. I am a huge advocate for birth control and think the concept needs to be taught to kids early and often. What am I thinking though? We live in a country in which people don’t even bother to spay or neuter their pets and then dump unwanted cats and dogs on the streets or kill them. We’re a mess!
