-Throughout my life I’ve always had anger at my dad and his wife. They’re always opinionated and judgmental.

-I support my mom, they told me it’s not “normal” to support my mom and I need to throw her out to the street.

-I work hard, I’m a volunteer in my community. My dad’s wife says ignorant things about my volunteerism.

-My dad/his wife 2 years ago basically told me I’ll never amount to anything but they love me for who I am.

-My dad’s wife said I’m supposed to be married, own a home and have kids by my age (34). Thing is, she’s on her 3rd marriage and her family avoids her. She barely ever has held a job and she’s not someone I have a lot of respect for. They’re wealthy, they’re Catholics too but they always say hurtful things and are opinionated when it’s none of their business.

-My dad’s brother was murdered 2 years ago and when I went to be consoling they said I need to go on medication and see a therapist because I’m not “right.” I went, the therapist said I’m fine and I don’t need help. He said I can schedule another appointment if I want but he evaluated me and said they’re idiot.

-I feel bad because I just told them off when they invited me over for the holidays. I told them they treat me bad, why would I want to see them? Was I wrong?
