My sister said I was a 'guest at my own life' so I stopped going to my mom's Sunday dinners
Two months ago my sister pulled me aside after dinner at my mom's place in Akron and said, 'You show up here every Sunday and just sit in the corner like a guest.' I asked her what she meant and she said I let everyone talk over me and then I complain about it to her later. So I quit going cold turkey after that night, which was a big deal because I had been at that table almost every Sunday for 9 years. My mom called me 4 times the first week asking if something was wrong with my car. It stung hearing it but she was right, and the strange part is I do not miss it at all, I feel lighter. Has anyone else cut off a weekly family thing and had the rest of the family act like you moved to another country?
