Life takes you in so many different directions, but the one stability you can always count on is family? But is that really true? What happens when the people you love and sacrifice for turns out to be your worst enemy?
Let’s be clear, when I say family, I’m not talking about those family members that you don’t have a relationship with. Not those family members you see only during family occasions. I’m talking about those family members that you grew up with. The ones that you talk to all the time. The ones you would drop everything for just to do things to please them. You would give them your last dollar or your last plate of food if you had to. You get the gist…
What happens when you finally realize that these family members are self-absorbed? Your happiness means absolutely nothing to them. They are only concerned about their own. But all your life, you’ve done nothing but try to please them and get their love. Then, as you get older and want some happiness in your life, they start badmouthing you. You go through the motions and try to overlook it…
My question is, when is enough… enough? When do you finally say you’re done? Do you confront the person or persons? Or do you just walk away?
Food for thought…
