Anita, you are amazing…what a thorough and well written response, and I think it’s spot on. Libby, I hope you make the decision to walk away from your mother and siblings, as they clearly do not have any regard for your well-being, or your children’s. I’ve heard the saying before that we cannot choose our family, but we CAN choose to walk away if they are causing us harm. What they are showing you is not love at all. So take the steps to love yourself, and your children, by walking away from them.
