Okay so my family are very close (cousins, aunts, uncles etc) I have an aunt and uncle that have always been there for me, bought me stuff, have been there for me when my parents split etc. I trusted them a lot but they are very big on image. On how people look at them, they want to look nice, rich, caring etc. but I realized it’s all fake. It’s just for the looks.

Recently I heard that when my mom & dad split, my aunt and uncle tried to sabotage my mom(she was trying to get a job w/ one of my aunts). They told my aunt not to hire my mom. Which idk why. Also I found out my uncle called my mom a “piece of shit” which really hurts. I don’t think anyone should ever say those type of things about someone’s mother. I felt like that was the last straw.

I decided to distance myself from them. I leaned to them when my parents split and they would ask me “how are you doing?” “Are you okay?” And now I feel like it’s so fake. I want nothing to do with them and it’s so hard trying to act like everything is okay.

Any advice would be so much help on what to do to fix this situation? I’m trying to distance my self from them and not trying to be part of that fake stuff. Although it hurts, I feel like it’s something I should do. Do you think they are fake or am I thinking too much about it? I just need someone’s advice on what to do, I’m just so betrayed 🙁
