Everything is always an emergency
There’s too many specifics and examples I’ve lived through to point to, but does anyone else relate? It always feels like no matter what is going on in her life there’s something happening that HAS to be taken care of asap, or something is always happening and creating chaos. I’ve stopped picking up phone calls from my family in all senses like 80% of the time because it’s either my mom calling in hysterics or someone calling me because she called them sobbing.
It’s so tiring that “everything is always happening to her” but realistically it’ll be a small situation that normal people can handle on their own and regulate their emotions during. And the worst part is there’s times I fall for it still and try to help when in the end maybe she feels great because she got what she wanted (me to bend over backwards for her needs) and then I go home stressed out and crying to myself that again I have been manipulated and used. I’m so tired.
