I'm so completely aggravated, I just need to tell someone without bad mouthing my Mom to people I shouldn't.
My relationship with her has been tense this year, she's basically been putting me down all year I think due to something I said that she didn't like. That is a long story, i'd say her feelings were hurt, but she never mentioned it. Realizing that may be the issue, I made an apology and tried to move forward even though there's been no acknowledgment of the remarks she's purposefully making!!
So she asked what my issue was and I treaded lightly, but alas that ended with her not speaking to me. I texted her on her birthday, no response. Awhile goes by and there are family birthday's she sends my father by and stays home (no celebration, just teen/adult birthdays where she sent a gift over.) She texted me on my birthday and we had a text conversation so I thought she was going to act like more of an adult...but alas she isn't.
I just found out this morning that my Dad is having some health issues and she didn't bother to even give me a text. Normally she'd 100% keep me informed, normally I've spent many a day supporting her (as in sitting with her day in and day out) in the past when Dad had some major surgeries. I am just completely pissed off at this point!! I want so little to do with her at this point it is not even funny. And my lovely sister is so far up her ass that apparently she couldn't send me a text either.

Family dynamics can be so awful sometimes. I'm sorry your mother isn't able to get past whatever is hanging her up. In the meantime I will keep your dad tucked up safely in my thoughts.

I'm sorry. That seriously is not ok.

Hugs for you. I understand how this can be. My mom can hold a grudge with the best of them and can resort to passive aggressive behavior on occasion. I just step away and clear my head.
I had my mom and my sister over on Saturday. My sis and I were drinking and she got a little tipsy. We happened to be talking about family dynamics growing up and my sister made a really flippant comment about how the rest of us were messed up and she was the only one who was normal. I love my sister. I know she loves me. But it still rubbed me the wrong way.

Strength to you, OP. Health issues should trump anything else, IMO. Keep the high ground in supporting your Dad, if you can, don't let your lovely sister and passive aggressive Mom drag you down. Peace.
