Probably going to have a slight rant here, so stick with me, I need this!
Right, my sister and her husband have been on the brink of breaking up for the past two years since they got married and had a kid. My parents have bailed them out left, right and centre (im talking thousands here as well as emotional support and child minding). Every day seems to be a drama with them and it's taking it's toll.
Now, dont get me wrong, I think it's great that my parents are helping my sister and her OH but there has to be a point where they say 'no more' and let them bail themselves out for a change and deal with their own problems, not leave it for my parents to sort out.
Like I said, this has been going on for years and every now and then they forget that I even exist and buy me presents to say sorry. I dont want them to spend money on me! All I want is a phone call every now and then for them to ask how I am and now phone me when they want to tell me how much money they gave my sister or what they dont to bail them out this month etc etc, i;m sick of it.
If I didnt phone them then they wouldnt call me at all! Its got to the point that ive stopped calling them and it's been days now since we have spoken as they havnt called yet I know they have been dealing with my sister and her OH's money and marital problems. Its not their problem to sort out!
Rar! I'm sorry but I cant vent this to anyone else as the only other people I have is them! Just feel a bit pushed out at the moment as they are channelling all their time and money onto my sister. I dont want their money or presents, I just wanna be ask how me and my OH are doing!
Rant over! Thanks for reading x
