    Dear lovejonesss:

    Interesting, the title of your thread is “Creating distance with a sibling”, but the distance has been there all along. So when you “backed off” from him, you weren’t creating a distance. Instead, you acknowledged that the distance was there all along.

    No reason to have contact with a person who doesn’t bother to hear you, who interrupts you when you talk, asking you the same question after you answered it, a person with whom you didn’t have emotional closeness before and who brought nothing but distress into your life.

    Dear anita,

    You’re absolutely right. I am learning about myself a little bit each day, what makes me tick, what triggers me, what feels right, and what I will and will not tolerate/except. I am giving myself a pat on the back as I said what I needed to say via text and hit the block button. Sure, I could have called this things out while we were in person but I know who I was up against. It also really didn’t hit me fully until I reflected and downloaded the entire encounter. This interaction indeed “brought me nothing but distress”  and I am choosing right now to continue to disengage.

    Dear Lovejonesss:

    Good to read that you are learning about yourself each day, “what makes me tick, what triggers me, what feels right”, excellent. I second that “pat on the back” you gave yourself. Congrats for having “said what (you)  needed to say via text and hit the block button”!

    Post again anytime.
