I talked to my sister

[sockerheel]

What a sucky response. I'm sorry. Sending you positive thoughts.

I'm sorry RR.

For what its worth, we are here for you. And I think your strength to get out of this is amazing.

That text though leaves me

Pretty much this. Can't really say it any better.

It took time for my very Catholic sister to come around. Same with my mom....but I promise you that she will see that your happiness is important

Did you talk to her or just text it? A good convo might help


Sent from my DROID3 using proboards

Thank you. It's kind of nice to hear you had this happen too. I talked to her on the phone to start with, then she sent me this message. I really wish I could go talk to her in person.

did you respond to her text?

I am so sorry. All men are not like that. You deserve so much better.

[justjen]

Wow, I would be pissed. That's really not cool.

I did. I told her that it really didn't work like that, and that we had tried counseling, both in a church setting and with a professional, neither of which worked. She hasn't responded back to me.

I'm so sorry. You know we're here for you.

This makes me so angry.

Me too.
I hope that you have another good support system. Perhaps your sister wasn't really thinking about what she typed, but regardless that makes me angry.

I'm sorry. When my cousin's husband cheated on her, her own mother told her to put up with it. Just because someone loves you doesn't mean that they can't be dead wrong about your relationship, and just because they are dead wrong about your relationship doesn't mean they don't love you. I think in general those people will come around and support you after you make that step. Otherwise, they are tempted to try to maintain the status quo, even if that's not what's best for you.

I didn't see the op, but I'm sorry you're not getting the support you need from family

I'm so sorry. You take care of you, even if that means not having your sister understand, but I hope she will come around.

I say, head to Chicago and stay with Krystee!

I agree with this. ({) (})

Dr.G is right to a point. My mom actually told me if I had been a better (more submissive) wife, my ex wouldn't have been abusive and cheated. Anyone who says that kind of stuff, whether they think they love you or not, isn't someone who is giving you the support you need and you don't need to listen to that right now. Hugs.

As for the relationship after that with my mom, we still speak but I haven't been as close to.her or able to trust her since.
