You are not an awful person if you hate your abuser.
Even if they apologized.
Even if they’re family.
Even if they’re mentally ill
Even if they were abused themselves.
You are allowed to hate them. It does not make you awful.
I know society pushes on us to forgive. To “be the better person.”
I’m here to tell you. They abused you. They are not entitled to your forgiveness. That’s up to you. It’s not up to anyone else.
Do what you need to do. You’re doing just fine.

You are enough. And you have always been enough, no matter what they said.
Is it toxic for someone to just hang up on you when you're talking about your issues like they're annoyed after they've vented to you before hand?
I did with my sister, she went on about her problems, I listened of course and gave as much advice as I could. Then when I said something that bothered me she automatically says "Ugh! Deal with that yourself!Goodbye!"
hey anon,
i don’t know about ‘toxic’ but it is certainly an immature, unpleasant way to end a phone call. if i were you, i’d have a convo with my sister about how that made me feel and how we can end calls on a better note. especially when the phone calls involve discussing heavy topics.
(side note: i really, really dislike when people cannot end a phone call politely and it leaves me talking to dead air for a few moments before i realize they hung up so this is a pet peeve of mines!)
stay safe,
maya
