I never had a good childhood. I had everything i needed, both parents, grandparents, and 2 aunts, fathers sisters. But I was always emotionally drained, blackmailed, brainwashed and gaslighted from the age of 4 or 5, maybe 3. My aunts hated my mom for reasons unknown, my mother on the other hand is an angel. I was kept away from my mother, I was made to hate my mother, I was told she isn't a nice woman and that she doesn't like us, I was not allowed to talk to my mother nicely, if i did, my aunts wouldn't talk to me, especially and particularly the younger aunt. She hated my mom to guts and hated my moms family.
My mother comes from a really nice family and everyone is truly humble. They treat us like we are their own children and much better. I have a younger sister and youngest brother, and we were never allowed to meet my mothers side of the family. Imagine being told from the age of 3 or 4 that they are bad people, your own mother is bad, I grew up in the same environment.
Constant fights between my aunts and my mother, my dad not having a spine and threatening to divorce my mother. Nobody being able to stand up for my mother, she fought alone, she fought for us. My aunts would always tell us that, once u grow up you will go to your mom and forget all about us and we would say thats not true and we wont ever leave them.
But we grew up, we learnt the truth, how my mother was tortured from the day she got married, for 24 years and the torture still continues. We love our mother now, we are fearless and visit the moms family and stay over for days. We apologized to our mother for treating her badly as children, she forgave us and we are happy, our dad is happy, but the aunt she is so jealous of us.
She picks fights with us, victimizes herself and portrays as though she is a saint. Im hurt, I'm mentally and emotionally drained, I cannot do this anymore.
