My sisters

I'm such a screw up. Two days this week my sister Jess has been reeming me about how I screw everything up. And she is so right. I screwed it up with my other sister. I screwed it up with everyone. Some days I wonder why anyone ever talks to me anymore. I can barely look at myself. I'm so tired. I've been trying really hard to be a better ( Read more... )

I'm not sure if the opinion of a stranger from the internet counts, but I certainly don't think you're a screw-up. It sounds like you have every right not to forgive your grandparents for what they've done and even if you were to forgive (something that is your choice alone), I doubt you'd ever forget.

Your sister sounds like she's being selfish for demanding you cave so she can have a false image of the perfect family. Your sister needs to stop blaming you for her unhappiness. Even if you all were there for Christmas, it wouldn't be the holiday she always dreamed of.

You're a good person for wanting to make your sister happy, but there's only so far you can go with her. She has to want to make herself happy.

I really feel like she is asking me to make her happy in a way I just can't give. Thank you for saying that. You always post such lovely responses. Thank you!

She's got to come to terms with her own unhappiness. Even if you were comfortable with going, I imagine it still wouldn't satisfy her because things would be strained.

I'm glad my comment could cheer you up. You really are an awesome, amazing person :)

Thank you! I usually shy away from compliments but I really needed some support right now. Thank you!

I'm sorry you're going through this. Sometimes the people we care about the most hurt us deeply. *hugs*

I really love my sister. She is literally my entire family. I have spent every day trying to make sure she is safe and loved. In a lot of ways she is like my own child. I raised her. But it hurts me and angers me that she would ask something so selfish of me. I wish I could just forget what they did. I wish I could sit there and be comfortable. I can't. I don't know if I ever will. I finally did though have a good christmas with them and my sister ran off and told them what she thinks I'm feeling. I know she was trying to help but now I'm back to square one with my grandparents. But I think I would die if my sister and weren't really close. She is such a part of my heart ( ... )
