oh fourmaggie,
I can almost feel your frustration and anger.
I have these feelings for one of my siblings, and underneath is a fear that our
relationship will never be repaired.
Of course, I am speaking only for myself.
I am very hurt that she seems to have no idea how much she hurt me.
She actually lived with me for awhile, and almost came between my daughter and I.
I learned I cannot trust my own sister.
That is heartbreaking to me, and it is easier to be mad.
Thank you so much for sharing this with the forum.
I have not spoken to my sister in three years, and that is sad.
But, she cannot be trusted as far as boundaries, addiction and our relationship goes.
Maybe someday, I will become fearless when it comes to her, but it is not now.
For now, my amends to her must be made long distance.
It has helped me, and now I remember it is time again to run the steps.
Well, maybe low crawl, slowly.
fourmaggie, I appreciate your candor and how your heart is on your sleeve.
I bet you make an excellent and loyal friend.
Beth
