I had a pretty traumatic 2017, past issues of trust and abandonment came back to haunt me. I’m just getting out of the deep depression I fell into. For the first time, my family was openly aware of my mental health. My mom was cauctious with me, she was actually being a mother and wanted to make sure it wasn’t going to get worst to a point where I could hurt myself. My sister, however, decided there was a time limit to my recovery. I don’t know know why I fall for it when she allows me to talk about my issues only for her to snap at me for being broken. This past weekend I had about all I could handle of her and haven’t responded to any of her messages. Even her text asking why I wasn’t responding to a picture she sent. On Friday, she allowed me to talk about a certain trigger for me. Her openness shifted into a lecture about something I said about having issues from 2012 and that wasn’t okay. Then bringing up a family friend that passed in November and how I was making that loss about me. I’ve gone to so many funerals but this was the first time in almost 8 years where the funeral actually affected me. In 2010, my great grandmother and grandfather both passed months apart. That events still haunts me and I was revisiting it, having this deep seeded fear of having to experience the family war that I had during the funeral. I knew it wasn’t going to happen because it’s a totally different family that actually loves each other. I think it’s just my post traumatic stress that makes me fearful of certain events happening again. After the loss of the family friend, while others were clueless of how to offer condolences I knew from experience what they were feeling having lived through a similar situation. My sister snapped at me for still thinking of 2010 as I should be able to laugh at those predicaments by now. She then asked if I was still in therapy then suggested I tell my therapist to tell me to snap out of it. Snap out of it, it’s been almost a year. Every trauma you’ve faced is in the past so it’s laughable now. I’m really resentful for her making me feeling like crap because I’m not fully recovered. She’s not realizing she’s been pushing me away.

Sarina_Luna94, ***Hugs***. i’m sorry your sister just doesn’t get it! She’s clueless. *sigh People who do not have to deal with the issues and stress that ‘we’ do, do not understand. Snap out of it? –Sorry–i probably woulda reacted differently. ahem…but, we won’t go there. i’m glad you came here and posted your blog. So many times in life, we’re forced to try to put on a false persona, just to appease those around us. My take on that: it’s total BS. WE should be allowed to feel the way we feel. We should also be able to deal with things in our own time, not when “you” say so. Geez…i could go on, but …let’s just say that you came to the right place. i’m glad you did. Feel free to be yourself–write whatever you feel you need or want to. There are a lotta decent people here and you are definitely NOT alone.
I haven’t spoken to her for three days, she text me today asking if I was sick or something for not responding. I’m having a real hard time finding a reason because I’m just too tired to be dealing with her if our entire relationship is her lecturing me or putting me down all the time.
Everyone grieves differently. That includes how we grieve, how long we grieve, and how we react to the grief. It’s perfectly normal that these things still affect you. Don’t let her fool you into thinking it’s bad that you’re grieving a certain way just because she grieves differently.
If you ever need to talk, I’m avaliable.
