I hear you about telling your sister and now there are issues.
I wish I hadn't told my family as much as I had, through the years.
They've already decided that my husband is scum. Even as things move forward in my relationship with my husband, they have decided that things are the way they see it, and no new information will change their perception.
However, my older brother is the same way about me. He takes everything I say as a personal attack against him. It doesn't matter that I'm no longer 17 years old, (I'm 28!!) and it no longer matters to him that I'm out of my depression. He's made up his mind about me and the only actions of mine that he pays attention to are the actions that confirm his beliefs.
Sigh.
But, now I know how it feels to be on the receiving end of the jade colored glasses.
I guess all any of us can do is to learn from our mistakes and to focus on improving our relationships with the people who touch our lives.
