Gotta love the flying monkeys

[Guest guest]

I recently visited the one brother I have who typically doesnt get involved with

nada's bullshit. If you recall, I've been NC for about 18 months now.

When we were alone, he said

" I'm only going to say this and nothing else, you need to fix this shit with

mom. "

To which I responded " Brother, I can't fix it. She has some serious isues that

she needs to deal with. Until she does, I can't be in contact with her. "

" She is working on it. "

" Brother she threw stuff at me. She doesn't get a free pass to not have to

apologize or explain herself. "

" Well, someone has to be the bigger person. "

Now, granted, he has no clue of all the abuse that went on, both physical and

emotional, but in what world does a person think it's reasonable advice to tell

someone they should continue enabling a family member to hurt them?

The whole conversation totally triggered me, and I've been very upset ever

since. Part of me wants to email him and say: if you bring this up again, I will

leave. But I also knw that will just make drama. I know that in practice, that's

what I will do.

I just need some reassurance.

Thanks all.
