Both my sister and brother were golden children. It was ridiculous . My sister died in a car accident in 1999. Unknown to us, she had made me the beneficiary of her life insurance policy. My mother was furious . She said to me “Well I guess you were the chosen one”. Just as nasty as she could. This was just days after my sister died. Who the hell does that?? It’s just unreal..
Thank you very much Mona. I appreciate your compassion. It was like that my whole life . I have so many situations like that with her but that one topped them all. My one consulation was knowing that my sister loved me and recognized me and that my mother, in all her attempts to suppress me couldn’t do it. 🙂
Thank you so very much NA. That is very kind of you. It was the worst experience by far in my life and I’ve had a few doozies. It’s amazing isn’t it? I was stunned and at the time didn’t say anything because she had just lost her first born/daughter. I was 34 at the time but if it had happened now it would be a different story as far as my response back to that comment. It’s sad that I’ve lost the amount of compassion that I used to have but you have to draw a line and keep some people at a distance ..
Sue…you did the right thing and not the easy thing to not say anything. It was about your sisters memory not your mothers disorder. You can look back now and know you were the bigger person.
I know ive had to put distance between my mother and i and its helped in doing so. I feel way better and she has no power over me aside from some annoying behaviours.
Thank you NA,
You’re very right, I did the right thing at the time. When I think back I get mad because I just sat there and took it …like so many times with both parents. My Dad was worse than her . I’m not trying to have a pity party but it’s nice to have talk to people who understand so thank you again for that. These ACON pics are so spot on that they dredge up memories. But God has carried me though.. I can say that with confident certainty! ❤️
Sues423 a part of me wishes you had said “why yes….I am the chosen one” with a big smile on your face. I know the pain you were feeling was far too intense to reply in that moment. She sounds like a ferocious competitive entitled selfish bitch.
Hahaha! That would have been awesome. I was in such shock from the whole thing. My sister dying and then trying to digest what my mother just said to me. Believe me, if that had happened today it would have a different show! Although I didn’t hold back the older I got. She heard me loud and clear. You describe her exactly . Sad to say but you hit the nail right on the head ..
This happens to me almost every visit!!! Ive nlt talked to my brother in 11 yrs yet every time my mums over his name keeps popping up. She just cant get him off her mind. Its such a mental illness. She continues to triangulate me with him despite the fact she tore our family apart years ago.

Can you imagine being married for 20 years with the same person( if she is good source of fuel )?
I can imagine it but I cannot see it happening.
Hg, would you like to get married again?
It’s not a priority but I’m not against the idea.
i think women do this better though. this is a part of our power, which most women don’t realise because of sexism.

Sues423, I am speechless about the behaviour of your mother. That is contemptible. I am so angry about her. I do not find the right words.
Thank you very much Mona. I appreciate your compassion. It was like that my whole life . I have so many situations like that with her but that one topped them all.

Im stunned too that your mother would say that sue it was very cold of her 🙁 im sorry you lost your sister that mustve been difficult.
