Today was the day. I finally snapped after a whole year of putting up with their trashy, immature bullshit. I’ve bent over backwards to be kind, respectful, and to just stay the hell out of their petty drama. But they came for me again – and this time, I let it all go. I’m so glad they finally saw I’m not some timid little mouse and I do in fact think they’re pond scum.
They no longer exist in my world. Let them keep acting like delusional children in whatever royal cult fantasy they live in. I truly don’t give a shit how hard things might get with my husband – anything is better than pretending their toxic enmeshment is normal.
My nervous system is in overdrive. I’m sitting at work trying not to cry. For an entire year, they’ve pushed me into spiral after spiral – triggering stress, chaos, and pain in my relationship with my husband. I’m torn between feeling a little ashamed with how I snapped…and also angry with myself for not doing it sooner. For not protecting myself. For not putting me first.
