Am I the a**hole? Family troubles
I don't want to paint a picture as if everyone gets along, because we don't. And since I've cut her out of my life, my inner peace is much better. Maybe I'm supposed to feel guilty because we were so close at some point, but I honestly don't. Am I the asshole?

I know for myself personally, I'll mention three significant relationships of mine that that had to be altered in the course of all of this. And the first was a really good friend that I had that was from Romania, and she was very Christian. And I am not I'm not a religious person at all. But we were good friends, and we enjoyed hiking together, we ran together in the mountains, and our kids were close

And I think that that's what happened these past few years have just been an uprising, an uprooting, where before we were just maybe a little too comfortable and weren't addressing things that needed to be addressed. And that's always hard, but yet still necessary. So thanks for putting this out there. I really appreciated having the opportunity to engage in the discussion

But as far as having family, family are the people who are loyal to you. Family are the people who celebrate you. When you're celebrating and when you're sad and down, they're there with you and they're sad and down with you and they're trying to cheer you up. That's what family is. And I know in times past we've said, oh, they're blood family, you got to get along with them. But that's not true
And honestly, I'm really happy. I just wanted to share this on here and what people thought, because I know that family drama runs in every family. So yeah, I don't think that there's anything to be done here. I'm only 24 too, so maybe I'll get older and I'll feel different. I'll look back on my memories. I'll miss her
So the narrative always gets to be on our side, or I have to interject with my family and tell them my side, and then they have to choose. So my family all knows very clearly what happened between the two of us. They know exactly what was said and multiple things that were done. So I also believe that family is the people that you choose to have in your life. Like I said before, I don't think blood is blood. Here's what actually happened

These people are more than acquaintance. These people are my cousins, but they're cousin acquaintances. These people are cousin friends. These people are just cousins. These people are this is my aunt, but my aunt talks a lot, so I only tell my aunt certain things. You manage the information that you give out about you and when you begin to manage the information about you better, then all of this stuff dissipates. I don't have those issues in my life
