RE: Contest: Writing Prompts for FreeWriters
I can agree on some people that just like to spoil the mood of others. Those are really in a special category of people. Let's just call them 'special'.
What really made me sad was how my eldest sister reacted to whatever I do. She used to be supportive then suddenly she would just act weird. She would talk about education certificates are like toilet paper when she seen mine. She would show face of disgust at the aromatherapy products I made(I swear they smelled nice!) and when I shared with her that I was an editor in chief, she asked where I copied all those poetry and stuff (that was before AI).
It sounds as if your sister envies you. I am afraid being siblings doesn't mean love and support are guaranteed. If it comes to it we share the same family. I left a long time ago, and I can't say that I regret it. It was hard at first, but every single day I still feel the relief that I got rid of them and can do as I like.
I don't need anyone to make me feel unhappy; I am able to do that myself is my life slogan.
There's nothing for her to envy. It was just shocking how she turned out that way.
I'm estranged from my parents, and it brings me some peace of mind. The hardest part, however, was when both sisters I was close to simply ghosted me. It's been years, and I'm still not coming to terms with that.
You say there's nothing to envy, but that doesn't mean they don't see it that way.
I left at the age of 15, and only tried it once again. Years later, my eldest sibling invited me to a family reunion. I refused and I told them why. Staying out of the way of poisoning people is better for my health and my children.
You cannot force people to like you, not even if they are family, and I learned that they will never give an honest answer and that bloodline means nothing (except if it comes to manipulating).
You are brave. 15 is so young!
You are right about the manipulating part. It's always people closest to us that can do that and only them are near enough to be able to stab us.
