Reason no1 I hate this time of year. (A rant/vent)

My mom always ends up fighting with a family member, usually my oldest sister who stands up for her kids. Everyone's dragged into it one way or another.

It's even the reason I ended up in the psych ward the first time, bc I couldn't get away from the conflict.
When I got out my mom picked me up, manipulated me into siding with her, then drove us to my sisters place to threaten her with calling child care services bc she wasn't able to take care of her 4 months old baby (Sis was a great mom, but my mom couldn't handle the competition)
What mom didn't know, but I did was that sis was already pregnant with her 2nd child.
Unfortunately, like I said, mom managed to manipulate me in my weakened state of mind into thinking sis was a bad mom.


I've spent 14 years trying to make up for it.



Anyway: the only xmas time noone argued was the year my cousins dad hanged himself. That was actually my best cmas ever. How sad is that?
(He was my aunts ex, not my uncle)


This year, I actually had my first fight with mom ever. At the age of 39. I made a post about it if anyone wanna get more details about it.
