Dirty Laundry

[Athene]

Yeah, toxic families are a doozy, aren't they? You're situation sounds similar to mine. The church transformed my mother and sister into stone-cold lunatics. Downright scary.  Best course of action is limited exposure.  I still drop by, only because my father isn't well and I don't want him to feel that I've abandoned him. I do love my mother and sister as well, but I had to accept that they are just lost.....so far gone, I can't see them ever coming back .  It's sad and very lonely sometimes, but you can't let yourself go down with the ship. We're all going to have to learn to get by without the ones that we love someday.....sometimes it's sooner than we think.
