Three years ago, my sister got married to a rich guy from a very noble family. Right after the wedding, my sister’s attitude changed. She could talk to me anyhow, as if in our previous lives we were sworn enemies. To make it worse, my parents agreed with her on many things, even when she was wrong.

My sister gave birth and needed a family member by her side. My mom was very sick, so I offered to go and help until my mom got better. Because of that, I took leave from work, but just a couple of days before I was due to go, my dad told me my sister had changed her mind. She didn’t want me anywhere close. Honestly, I was very angry. The fact that she didn’t discuss it with me but rather told my dad to tell me hurt me.

When I approached her about it, she told me it was her home and she could decide who came in. I said, “That’s not what I’m talking about. Yes, you can decide anything, but why didn’t you speak to me directly when we’ve been talking about it all this while?”

It turned into an exchange of words. Of course, I’m the senior, so I wanted to establish my seniority. She told me, “If you’re a senior, why don’t you go and start your own home instead of fighting over a junior’s home?”

I was deeply hurt, so I gave her a piece of my mind and told her that until she apologized, I would never consider her a sister. She called my bluff and hung up the phone. She complained to my parents, and they called to give me a piece of their minds in turn. My mom was bitter even without hearing my side of the story. My dad called me jealous.

I Called My Girlfriend And Another Man Answered The Phone

I told them they’d been bought because of the kind of man my sister married, but they should never forget that blood is thicker. My dad got angry and cut the line. Just this morning, I woke up and discovered I’d been removed from the family WhatsApp group. I was shocked, but my heart was at peace, knowing I hadn’t done anything wrong to deserve the removal.

I blocked my mom, my dad, and my sister. If they want me out of the group, then they might as well be blocked out of my life. I don’t beg before I eat. I’m my own woman. Am I taking it too far by blocking them?
