I think it’s difficult for sure but at the same time it’s easier for you having it this way. I’ve got people that are family and treat me in a way that is worse, trying to pretend to be nice but then use me as a punching bag for their failures in various things. Treating siblings purposefully different than me and ridiculing me for saying enough is enough I’m not dealing with your shit anymore and cut them out. These people are cancers and they try to suck people into their destructive orbits out of desperation to ruin your life and successes.

I would much rather they be an up front piece of shit than a subtle piece of shit. It’s far easier to justify getting rid of them from our lives!
