I need to vent. Im pretty pissed at my sister. Im always the bigger person, biting my tongue and she doesnt even know it. Grrr.
8 yrs ago when dx w stage 4, she sounded strangely excited and said she was going to take notes when we talked so she could better follow along. A few months later and I was feeling overwhelmed, imagine that! She asked me how i was doing on 3 occasions and i didnt reply. (She is long distance) then she announced she would never ask me again. Some rule she made. And she hasnt. Insane. She will wish me well, hope I'm not in pain, send cards etc. Everything but ask directly. So stupid.
She called yesterday but I didnt answer w company here. Again she didnt ask in the message she left. Twist the words in so many ways, but wont ask. Stupid game. I'm planning to text her and tell her I'm too busy to talk. Try next month. All I have to talk about is how miserable everyone here is. Then maybe ask if im playing her game the right way cause i never got a set of the rules. UGH.
Thanks for listening.

I think it's Ok that you are making your own rules by not answering her. Long distance relationships are hard. It does break my heart a little whenever I read about a challenging sister relationship. Lost my younger sister last Aug. to this crap. It was horrible. I still haven't processed it, and I really miss her. Please take care as to what you really want from her.

cancer means taking care of your own mental health so the family drama has to go the wayside. I decided to not deal with anyone not willing to be respectful and was not worth it. Helps to not live right by those relatives so they were more long distance ones we would see a few times a year. Stil not worth the drama.

Quick vent for the day:
A family member gave me a "birthday gift" entirely centered around my having cancer. Highlighted articles from questionable sources about how to beat my cancer with "metabolic health" approaches. Gee 🙄 all I can say is thanks for the time and care put into it, even though it COMPLETELY missed the mark.
I'm thankful to have here as a safe place to post this though.

What a thoughtless gift. Someitmes some one who has not had cancer has no clue it seems. They just need to be there and sometimes and help out and say nothing. Keep their mouth shut about things they do not understand how you are feeling.
I hope you were able to enjoy your birthday though and happy birthday!
