"I struggle like crazy with this issue, of being the bad daughter because I don't jump into the dysfunctional family business. "

Truer words were never spoken.

I was starting to realize yesterday that no matter what I do, I won't ever get them to see me. That's the illusion, that one day I will figure out how to do or say the thing that will get them to see--as long as I just keep trying.
But no matter how I play it or don't, I can't win in their system. It's almost freeing. Almost.

Boy, what a heavy responsibility that is to be saddled with-- weekly runs to the ER with mom (avoidable ones!). I'm glad you can even consider that you have a choice. My brother tried to convince me yesterday that I was free to do whatever I wanted (now that it's a fait accompli). It felt akin to someone asking if they can help with the dishes once you've already cleaned the kitchen. Uh huh.
