I finally did something for myself!

I absolutely could not sit down to another one of our "family dinners" today. Something hurtful always happens. Whether it is something I say, I do or the way I am looking at someone. Then my feelings get hurt and I say nothing because I am sick of arguing with my sister and everyone else in the house. My sister told me I don't talk to her daughter the way I talk to her "because I am afraid she will do what she did to me again." No, I decided if she ever threatens my life again, I am calling the police and filing a police report. I will not have it happen to me again. And I really don't care how mad my sister gets. Enough is enough.
All the medicine she takes, those prescription narcotics, have altered her mind. I am her worst enemy now. She does not remember when her daughter did the same thing to her shortly after she first moved back here. I have had enough of both of them.
I packed a small bag last night and left this morning. I left my dear sister a coupon for a "sister-free day" giving her 48 hours without me! And of course, for me, 48 hours without them. I feel ok today. I treated myself to a nice hotel room and a nice lunch. No one got their feelings hurt during the meal! It was a wonderful day!
