On one hand, I can understand that my parents like us to be together on Christmas, but this year my brother and sister in law are going to New Hampshire to her father's house for Christmas. And my other sister lives in Virginia. It could very well be their last Christmas with my parents, but yet they aren't gonna be here. And my parents are fine with that. But on the flip side, it's kind of selfish of my parents to expect ME to be there every year for Christmas, because every year I have different plans, and have to break them to make my parents happy..
The ONLY time I've been able to stay home on Christmas, was back in 2014 when I had sciatica and a herniated disk in my back. My parents came down and brought my presents, then they left. Then my brother got kicked by a horse that morning and ended up in the ER with a broken arm. So NO ONE had Christmas that year.
Yes, my sister is a narcissist. She's negative about everything and every one. My parents don't like her coming around, but yet they'd never tell her that. She can't stand Mom either, but kisses her butt all the time. :/ She helps them out with anything they need, but when it comes to helping ME, she can't be bothered. She only calls me when she needs something, or wants to find out something so she can gossip. NOTHING stays secret in this family, except for the level of loathing I have for her and my mom. They have no idea how much I despise them. Sometimes I feel like telling them the truth, and to leave me the heck alone. As it is right now, I'm mustering up all the sanity I'll need on Christmas.. lol

Oh, Blue. My heart cries for you. I know that is not what you want, so I'll move along quickly. You know this is manipulation. Narcissistic. You know people like this always use a little undeniable truth to shut your mouth and get you to comply. Of course, it could be the last time. Any time could be the "last time." But this is narcissism at play. Stinkin. It's a game.
Hey. I copied this down yesterday: 6 Tactics Narcissists Will Use To Silence You. It may not be what you want right now, so be careful about reading it.
Take care -- okay?
