Us kids were nothing but a burden for our mother. We cramped her style, and inconvenienced her love life. So she sent us away in order to travel the world with her new husband. She gave over custody of my older brother and sister to their father to live in a different state when they divorced. This meant I never grew up with them from the age of 4. My other older sister and I went to live with mother and her new boyfriend after he kicked his 2 minor children and wife out of their home. Then they sent me to boarding school for 2 years so they could travel the country, leaving my older sister who was in highschool home alone to fend for herself. Shortly after I came back home to live, they kicked my sister out to live with her father and my other sister, because she was "too difficult" to deal with. My brother at this point left to join the Navy. So I became an only child, and never spoke to or saw my siblings for years. When I started high school at 14 my step father began exposing himself to me and offering me money to see me naked. When I told mother she didn't believe me, but when step father finally admitted it she never mentioned it again and demanded I do the same. All of us siblings ended up abusing drugs alcohol and food to cope. Still to this day, now in our 50's and 60's, except for me. I've been sober since 2012 when I cut mother and step father out of my life. My siblings still have contact with her, although limited. My stepfather says I have a special place in hell for taking her 3 grandchildren away from mother. Mother keeps emailing me old photos of my kids and me with her before I got sober and cut ties with her. As well as posting them on social media making it look like she was such a loving grandma. Saying how she misses them blah blah blah. Any wise words of wisdom on how to respond to her if at all?
The blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb.” The saying means that chosen bonds are more significant than the bonds with family or “water of the womb.” More directly, it means that relationships you make yourself are far more important than the ones that you don't choose.
