Family rant.

[Marguerite]

So I know this is loooong but I don't even expect anyone to read it let alone reply... I just kinda wanted to write this down because I'm so pissed off at the moment.

I'm just sick of my mum turning every single conversation into a rant about how my sister is the devil.

Everything she does is wrong. I'm so over it. My sister is at our grandmother's house basically every day, taking her too appointments, cleaning and what not. They're really close. My mother on the other hand only contacts either of them when she needs money for cigarettes or to feed her gambling addiction.

Yet, she's still bitching about how my grandmother 'only' gave her $50 in a card for christmas while my sister (who's always there for her) got something better. And now the latest drama is that my grandma gave my sister some second hand mats instead of my mum. RTERSGT. I just don't know why she is so entitled. My grandmother and grandfather while he was still alive bought her a car yet she's still complaining. She only talks to my grandma every few weeks when she's spent all her money yet she thinks she should be showering her in gifts.

She expects it from my sister too. She's always asking her for money. My sister just had a baby and she even asked her for money while they were in hospital! My sister set up a money box thing for my new niece which had a few coins in it. My mum actually went through it and took they money.

Yeah my sister is closer to my nan than my mum (and vice versa) but so what? I can't feel sorry for her when all she does is steal from people and lie and just be generally cruel.

About a year ago she called my sister and said she was going to kill herself (because she lost all her money gambling) then ran off and took a bunch of valium. My sister called the police and she was so distraught. When they found my mum they took her to a psych ward and locked up over night. She called my sister from the ward and asked her to bring her cigarettes. When my sister bought two cartons (with her own money) and traveled into town (after basically having an emotional break down over what our mum had done) our mum took the smokes then handed my sister a note and walked off without so much as a thank you. The note said to not ever contact her again. Obviously they do talk now, but every argument they have our mum says something like "Why don't you just lock me up again, you love doing that!". She has never forgiven my sister. Which is so fucking ridiculous... she should be begging for my sister's forgiveness, not the other way around... she's the one in the wrong here and my sister was the victim.

My sister doesn't ever say anything because she's so scared of what my mum would do. My sister is 30 and can look after herself but my mum is a fucking psychopath, I honestly wouldn't be suprised if my sister ever raised the issue that our mum would go down and punch her in the face.

I'm just so fucking sick of her BS, I don't know if I'll even continue talking to her when I leave in a few weeks. I can't wait.

It really sucks to have family who think its all about them and everyone should treat them as if they're God, I've had experience with that and since I got away from them I've never been happier. Things could improve with your mother once you move out and she has to take care of herself, so it could work out well. PM me if you want to talk about it, I like to listen.
