I forgave my dad for all the years of abuse but I never forgot it. I did what I could for him but didn't allow myself to get too close. My sister has pulled the rug out from underneath me my whole life and the last time was enough. I don't know what she expected from me. She screamed into the phone that she didn't want me coming to her place anymore. I hung up and that was 7 years ago. She has always put my dad in between us and there was never any need. After the 3rd time, my heart closed and locked towards her. I just can't trust her. Every time she asked for forgiveness I gave it unconditionally and got screwed for it. I'm done. Yes, its hard. Don't feel bad about what you didn't say. Life is a learning journey. We all make mistakes and we all live them in some way. Be good to yourself.

The main thing I learnt from trying the fod map diet was to eat smaller meals. At the moment I am not losing weight as I want to but at least I am not putting it on. I had three brothers one a twin. The best one and eldest died six years ago. I decided not to communicate with the remaining two. This works best for me. Love to all of you struggling with issues relating to families. Eventually you often get fed up of forgiving people over and over. Take care.

Boy does that sound familiar too. Sorry you had to go through all that as well 💚and everyone else too.
Thankful to have a huge fibro fam now, where I don't have to be the scapegoat. Even if the hot water heater would break or other random stuff, all my fault. YAY logical thinking 🤪

Diabetes runs in my family. I got rid of mine by losing weight. Both my children, especially my daughter are over weight getting on for fifty but ignore my warnings.

I did an unusually strict elimination diet where the safe list I ended up with was also a variation of foodmap and it helped a lot with all of my symptoms including digestive and chronic pain.
