Mr. X: i tried hard to stay connected with my only elder sister (cousin). but... she always used to take me for granted. always kept saying, "I'm there for you." but when I needed her in my bad time, she just vanished, no calls, no messages, no words.. i broke apart, and decided to disconnect every string between us. after 1 year, she's like, "if your anger tantrums are over, and you're done, let's connect." i was like, what the f... when i needed you the most, you just abandoned me, and now I'm recovered, you're back? and on top of that, your asking, of I'm done with tantrums? hell no. I'm not gonna repeat same mistake again.. still after 2 months i tried connected with her like an idiot. now she's not even noticing.. i realised one thing.. toxic relationship is not only within Couples, marriages... it's in between brother-sister, parents-kids, etc.
