Forgive and forget

Ali • 🌵🌻

Hello, so I’m having trouble forgiving and forgetting something that is very close to my heart.. back in July 2022 my mom passed away and my oldest sister and my aunt were in charge of letting everyone know how she was doing. My oldest sister was also the person they contact about resuscitation, so she was the main source of contact.

Long story short the way I found out my mom died was my aunt calling me and my brother through a three-way call saying she’s unsure why my sister decided to only tell our other sister but my mom passed away that morning.. so my oldest sister told her husband and our other sister, so her husband told my aunt and my aunt told me and my brother..

I don’t think it bothers my brother as much because I’ve mentioned it to him and he shrugged and my aunt even said it was odd she didn’t tell us when we are her siblings too..

I keep telling myself well it was hard on her and I have to respect her feelings but then I think… that was my mom too who meant just as much to me so why keep that from me.. I still cry about it and I don’t think I will ever bring it up to them, that it hurts me so bad.

The reason why I’m posting this now is because my sister had a baby last year and she only really seems to care if she has a relationship with my other sister.

It sounds sad but I want to disconnect from them all together, maybe say our happy birthdays and happy holidays but I get so incredibly emotional and hurt when I think about being around them or when I am around them.. as a Christian this is one of the hardest things I’ve had to deal with when it comes to family.. I want to forgive and forget.
