I am not important

[Raggedy-Ann]

I spent the long weekend with a bit of my family. There was drama and it didn't include me, thank God. I so rarely get to see my sister and was looking forward to spending time with her. That didn't happen. I stopped her as she and her husband were leaving. I took about five seconds to look her in the face and in hopes that she would see me and I could see her. Her husband and my brother got into a fight at a camping trip recently, so tension was high. My brother stayed two nights at my house and he spent most of the time saying horrible things about the family. It was exhausting. I couldn't stop him. He told me I had to stop "playing " sad, called me Princess Boo Hoo a name my siblings called me. They would tease me relentlessly until I would cry and then make fun of me for crying. I did stand up for myself on that. I told him to never call me that again. He thinks I am fucked up because of my meds and that I needed to stop taking them. He said my other brother said I have no future. I was happy I used some things I learned in therapy.- acceptance, live in the now, and not talking about others with a simple phrase- It's not my story to tell. He was really into talking about how messed up our family is, most of whom have passed. I tried changing the subject, suggesting we watch a movie. Asked him flat out to change the subject. He ignored me. When I tried to interject he stopped me and asked me let him finish.... there was no finish. I would rather be alone.

It's hard I am spending my life alone and it is hard to rally everyday.
