Today, gambling thoughts emerged as always with family issues. My Mother and Sister had a falling out 10 months ago. Neither one has talked to the other since. I’ve stayed neutral but my Mother has tried to bad mouth my Sister to me and has tried to tell me things my Sister has supposedly said about me. I’ve squashed it!
Today my Sister called to tell me that she loves me but she will be talking to our Mother again. My Mother sent the most horrible letter to her. OMG!
We suffered so much mental abuse as children and my Mom continues to this day to be a hurtful and manipulative person.
I have minimal contact with her. Very sad as I live 4 blocks from her. I feel obligated to check in on her, ect…which usually causes me much anxiety.
The gambling urges disapated. I worked through them. I can’t let others actions impact me in negative ways.
