Walk away from people who put you down. Walk away from fights that will never be resolved. Walk away from trying to please people who will never see your worth. The more you walk away from things that poison your soul, the healthier you will be. ~Shaista Saba
My younger stepsister making it a point to call and invite me to her wedding dress fitting while expressing disapproval of her mother's exclusionary behavior was new. Having Sam corroborate that her mother neglected to invite me, even though I was a member of the family and in the wedding party, felt incredibly validating.
Being excluded was just the tip of the iceberg; I was also ignored, shamed, and insulted.
My stepmother did not call or reach out
