My heart hurts

I just broke up with my boyfriend. I’m not talking to my sister and my closest friend at work has left. The three people I was closest to in life.

Life is strange… why all at once? My best guess is that the universe/ god (what ever you want to call it) wanted to help me to do a cleansing. Get rid of people that are toxic or holding me back.

I wanted so badly for this relationship to work that I didn’t pay attention to all the red flags. Just kept over looking them and forgiving him. I have always allowed my sister to walk all over me. Always walking on eggshells to not upset her. In the end no matter what I would apologize even when it wasn’t my fault l. I have always given so much in my romantic relationships and to my family that it’s hard for me to have time for friends out side of work. My work friend doesn’t create the healthiest atmosphere around her. But it was a connection.

Now here I am alone and my heart hurts.

I’ve blocked him on everything that I can and still he calls with an unknown number. I’m fighting every urge to just pick up. It would be nice to have someone to talk too.

I miss my niece and nephew so much. But I would have to pretend it’s my fault for me and my sister not talking. I would have to beg for her to forgive me for something I didn’t do. I’m tired of it so tired of this game of hers.

I know it wouldn’t be healthy to stay connected to my work friend. She brings people down to a negative level. A sallow one. But it would be nice to have a friend right now.

How long Am I suppose to feel this deep swell of pressure on my heart? I don’t want to give in this time. I want to heal.

But it hurts

You shouldn’t have to walk on eggshells for anyone. I did for years with my ex-husband and it’s never going to happen again. That type of toxicity can make you physically sick not to mention robbing you of you of peace.

@cherokeepatti I know this to be true. What’s hard is my sister has kids that I love very much. Their at a young age. So she controls who they get to see. It breaks my heart because I know they want to see me too. So is it better to cave and walk on egg shells to be able to at lest see the kids? That’s my problem deciding.

@Snow33 Yes had the same problems with my sister. Sad thing was that she was t letting my daughter come around her cousins who were in the same age range anyway. The very last time she made an exception should have raised some suspicion. After her acting this way for two years one day called and invited my daughter for a sleepover. She went and spent the night and most of the day there. Came back home on a Sunday. On Monday afternoon she calls me and says “Oh, by the way Katy has head lice” Supposedly a bad case and I believe she knew that before she invited her to her house. That phrase “Oh by the way” alerts me to something she is scheming on as if she is casually mentioning it. I had to
Spend a lot of money to treat my daughter and also
Shampoo my own hair and the bedding, sofa, and laundry. I found what looked like two nymph lice on my daughter. Not to

This is how evil
That sister is and only one of the reasons for cutting her out of our lives
