I have been treated in appalling ways by my blood family. It’s not hard to see a day of deep regret coming. They have all outed themselves as self-righteous, selfish, and foolish. I did everything I could to warn them that the hurt will eventually be theirs. In the meabtime, I just detach and deal with the sadness. Have paid a high price for taking a publuc stand, but better this than to live (and die) by lies.
It should not surprise me at this point, but it still does and it is painful. I realize their ways of scapegoating emotional honesty converted quickly to full ridicule for truthtelling. The bullying tactics, deflections, and projections raised to a crescendo. This has been a crash course in coping and maintaining autonomy. I am so disappointed that they would not listen and especially re the jabs as it could devastate what is left of them. This has been a very hard pill to swallow. May your heart heal completely. May all of ours💔💖.
