On Being The Daughter Of The Family

So in anger, for no reason, they decided to say this yesterday to me.

Family member: "I should've gotten you married when you were 12 or 13 so you wouldn't be a burden for me now. I could've lived me life and not had to deal with you."

I dont know how people who call themselves "family" can have the audacity to say such hurtful things and expect others to accept it. They were taught that abuse = love, and still to this day justify that it's normal, should be respected and accepted. It's nasty for them to even say this, knowing that I am financially and physically completely supporting them.

Is it normal to slowly be pushed into hating your own family?

a growing realisation that you aren’t going to change the world after all

The years from late middle age onward are also marked by a steady erosion of ambition. The cause isn’t so much a loss of drive as a growing realisation that you aren’t going to change the world after all. You’re just going to die and be forgotten, like almost everyone else. The knowledge that your existence doesn’t really matter is sobering, but also sort of a relief. It’s certainly changed my approach to paperwork.
