When family breaks apart
I had to cut ties with my sister, Emily. She was my best friend growing up, but everything changed. At 20, she got involved with a toxic guy who manipulated her. She started lying, stealing from our parents, and even hit me during an argument.
Our parents refused to see the truth, blaming me for her actions. They enabled her behavior, making excuses for her lies and thefts. I tried to help, but Emily became more abusive and manipulative.
One day, after she stole my savings and accused me of being the bad one, I had enough. I told my parents I couldn’t be around her anymore. It broke my heart, but I had to protect myself.
