Blood is thicker than water

Or is it?

I've been back in my hometown for a few years and the most is expected of me from my tias and primas. I'm doing what they perceive as well but I'm raising three kids on my own with no support from anyone and I'm not on any assistance programs either. I worked my way up at my job and it was really tooth and nail for me. I came back to town with just my kids and our clothes, that was all.

I was living with my kids father, ex/husband for 13 years and no one reached out to me, they were fine with the distance. I was living in extreme poverty, being abused, attempted to take my life a few times and no one called me, looked for me.

They can't understand why I can't be bothered while they are going through things and I'm near now. I went through hell to create this peace. You don't have unlimited access to me, I'm sorry.

I just needed to vent because if I said this they wouldn't understand.
