Damn

I finally decided that I need to cut off a toxic relationship with my sister after many years of shit. I'm sad because she's due to give birth next month but I can't keep letting the bullshit and stress get to me. This is fucking hard.

    Are you determined to end it, or would you like it to change?

    Honestly, I'm tired of trying. I've always wanted a close relationship with her but she's on another level of crazy. She's very manipulating and cruel.

    I'm so sorry.  Do you think there is any hope of reconciliation or that your sister may change after the birth of her child?

    I really don't know.

    Have you considered family.counseling?

    She lives in the Midwest and wouldn't even consider it if we asked.

    Dont ever feel badly about cutting excessively negative people out of your life.  They will attempt to steal your happiness at every turn.

    You hit the head on the nail because that's exactly what she does.

    I'm sorry. I don't have a relationship with my oldest sister, because she's just so toxic. It's difficult, but if it's best for your mental health, then it's the best. =/

    I'm sorry. That's really hard to deal with, but in the end it does feel better. 

    I've cut off contact with my mom and brother. Both are clueless and selfish. It took years to finally cut the ties, but really... once I did, they barely seemed to notice. My mom asked one time why I was ignoring her. I just ignored her again and she went away. (That sounds really harsh for anyone not aware of her shitastic mothering)

    I hope you feel better. I know it sucks to have to do this.

    well then just understand that it's a healthy choice for everyone that you cherish in your life.  Keep those that you love closer and never look back!

    I'm so sorry. My best friend(like a sister to me) started acting this way when I graduated college, landed a job, and was going to get married. Everything was some kind of competition and I didn't want to compete. One small example, after I came back from my honeymoon she told me she was going to go out because she "is not chained down" like I am. I tried to be positive and be there for her but ended up cutting her off for a while. Now I just keep her at arms length hoping she will reach a point in her life where she is less competitive. It doesn't hurt me to do this because I don't expect much out of her.

    Do what you have to do. Toxic people can really ruin any happy moment.
