Oh my goodness I can absolutely sympathise with this ! My two younger brothers who I thought would be support through this experience have gone awol. And because I don’t people please or do what everyone wants anymore. People in my family look at me like I’m an enemy.
So sorry you are going through this, never apologize for putting yourself first. That’s the way it should be. I am a first born daughter to a first born daughter (my mom). She had exactly this experience of feeling pressured to help take care of her little brother and grew up I think resentful a bit about it. As a result, she really made an effort to treat both me and my little sibling equally and I love her to death for it. She is an amazing mother as I’m sure you will be too. Just goes to show this doesn’t have to be the experience of all first born daughters, if anything I’m more spoiled than my brother 😁
Omg yes!! I get guilt tripped by my grandmother all the time and I recently stopped giving in bc I’m pregnant and just tired. Now or relationship us a bit more strained. My sister and I are ok bc she has two kids and understands, but everyone else? 🫣 It’s hard out in these streets.
People don't like when you have healthy boundaries. They cant use you anymore. Your new chapter dear ❤️ enjoy and be mother just for your kid s. I feel ya x Being in mom's roles from a young age;/(11 till 31) But I like how people get annoyed when I choose myself haha and I don't need to explain. They take you for granted. Start your new life and remember that you don't need to fix everyone's problem. ♥️
I think I was best that you did that, you are now to be a mother to your own child and not mother anyone else or be responsible for them, you don’t want people like that around you baby so just see it as a blessing in disguise good luck 💗
