My family is not made of angelic beings but despite their faults, they have (mostly) beautiful (good intentioned?) hearts

Family relationships are so complex. This one is difficult. It sounds as though you are "coming into your own" now and things will change. That's good!

Nice work with the prompt!

Thank you :)

I don't blame you for cutting contact off with that Aunt. From your past posts that involved her, she was absolutely dreadful to you

[xlovebecomesher]

She is quite awful :/

[favoritebean]

I'm so sorry that your aunt was so terrible to you. Good for you on standing up to her.

Thank you for sharing such a personal account.

[xlovebecomesher]

She was/is quite an awful person.

Thank you for reading :)

Some people are 'toxic' and either so filled with insecurity they have to tear down everything around them in order to seem/feel superior, or they're such Narcissists they actually believe they are. Some people need an epiphany before fhey will ever consider someone else's feelings/needs before their own. They are the only thing that matters in their world. Am sorry you are going through fhis hugs and peace~~~

Very true! That sums my aunt up perfectly!

I'm so glad you decided to go this route, and that you got such a terrific result! This very much seemed a story that you could uniquely tell.

I hadn't realized quite how extensively your aunt hated such a broad range of people. That's impressively awful, really. Thank goodness you no longer have to be pulled into interactions with her. What a toxic creature. :(

Thank you for this idea!

She doesn't discriminate in who she hates - she hates equally. It truly used to appall me how she'd make fun of my mom's friends to my mom but then be so nice to their faces when she saw them I'm not her only target!
