During my blue-pill days (at 16), my "sister" walked in and told my other "sister": "He know's he needs us, we're his sisters, he'll come around soon enough. He can't live without his us. But by that time we'll have forgotten all about him. Just leave him. We'll ignore him, even when he comes back crying."

After hearing that I decided I desperately needed to grow a pair and that I had to stop being a bitch. From then on I was to treat them the same. So I told them to leave me alone, not to talk to me and I don't want to hear from them or their bullshit anymore. I did this for 2(ish) days.

They went ballistic and went into, what I can only describe as outright hysteria. They cried (supposedly because of me), laughed at me, told me I was ugly, insulted me, picked on me, snitched on me, told my parents EVERY LITTLE THING I did wrong. They even got me grounded for 2-3 weeks.

They then tried to annoy me by blocking my way, standing in front of me and waiting for me to move out of their way, I shut this down by literally shoving them out of my way.

My "sister" once threw a cup at me so I responded by throwing a vase at her, saying "urgh" and moving on. My (other) "sister" (14) tried standing in front of me and blocking me, I shoved her into the ground, said "urgh" and got on with my day as if nothing happened.

After that they never tried anything violent / physical like this again and now when I walk by, they get out of my way :)

Then my oldest "sister" got me where it hurts... She told my little brother (10) to stop talking to me or she wouldn't buy him games or sweets or anything like that anymore. I tried making up with my baby brother, it worked and we apologised to each other and moved on. She threatened him again and the next day I walked up to him and said "excuse me" (he was in my way) and he stood there and ignored me (waiting for me to walk / move around him). Unfortunately I had to put his ass in-line too :( but I'm glad to say he never tried shit like that again (to anyone) and he even started to behave himself around the house / at school.

For the next 2 & 1/2 years I didn't speak to them (including my little brother) and every time they tried getting near me I would say "urgh" and walk out the room. When they tried talking to me I would say "urgh" and leave. Although I must admit, the whole "urgh" thing doesn't work with my little brother. I guess my 10 year old brother has thicker skin than my 20-something year old "sister" :/

My parents said I was horrible, because they would cry to "mummy and daddy" about how they felt "neglected" and "abused". Apparently they would (and I quote) "break down" when I said "urgh" to them and they even complained about how that was the biggest problem in their life (?)

Now it's been 3 years. I'm 19 now and every holiday (religious or otherwise) the "sisters" try to get my mother to make me to apologise to them and every holiday (religious or otherwise) I give this response to the whole "you're family" crap:

"I didn't start this, I apologised once and they started it again. I now have nothing to apologise for, my life is going good, I'm content with where I'm at, I'm happy with where I'm going and I don't expect or want nothing from them, please leave me alone."

And every holiday (religious or otherwise) they all have a massive crying session about how this "family" is breaking down and how no one is stepping up to fix it and how no one is stopping our "family" from (and I quote) "collapsing" & "breaking apart".

Please keep in mind that this is not a rant, it's just my story. To be frank I'm done ranting / getting angry about things. I've learnt that sometimes it's best to focus on you, cut your losses and move on.

So far I've managed to stop being depressed, managed to stop relying on others and I'm even getting back on track when it comes to studying / learning. I've even learnt to like being alone :)

That's it from me gentlemen, over and out.
