What to do?

What do you do when someone you love and care about hurts you to your core? Do you write them out of you life forever, do you take some time to forgive them? What if this person has the potential to hurt your child too. I mean if they said what they said to you, they would probably say it to your child if provoked too.

My sister and I had a small argument that escalated this weekend. It turned ugly fast and she said something about my child that hurt me so much that I could barely breathe. I'm infuriated. I'm devastated. I'm not speaking to her because I can't control my emotions enough to do so. I don't know if I'll ever be able to. I mean, this is my child we're talking about. The one person on the earth that I care about the most. This is my sister. A person who I share all of my childhood memories with. A person who've I've gone above and beyond to help when needed and someone whom I confide in. Someone who I trusted immensely.

I'm just so hurt. So angry. So many emotions at once.

I'm so sorry you're going through this. Is this a recurring problem with your sister? If so, I'd probably write her off. If, however, this is an anomaly, I'd give it a cool off period, then sit down and discuss it with her, try to forgive and move forward. I'm sorry you've been so badly her by someone you so closely trusted. (((hugs)))

Big hugs hun! Me and my sister don't really have a relationship because she thinks she can say whatever she wants to me and my friends all the time, like she is better then me. It's hard but I can't change who she is, just how I react to her.

It's hard when the person that hurts you is someone that is SO close to you. Eventually I think time will heal things but that you will never trust her to be alone with your kids, or confide in her again. It's sad because a Sibling is something that is so special in this world. I don't know what was said but I do know that you are a strong, loving, wonderful woman who will make the right decisions when it comes to the walefare of your children. *HUGS* I hope whatever this was you can move past it but with a new understanding of what your sister is capable of.
