Congratulations for standing up for yourself. Although it hurts that they are not currently speaking to you, realize this would have happened at some point the minute you said no. You saved yourself from feeling like a doormat and turning yourself inside out a second time. Either your sibling will start talking to you again and with a long suffering sigh chalk it up to how you are and move or you were going to be dead to them as soon as you didn't do want they wanted with no second chances and it is better to get there now. Oh and I bet they figure out their childcare situation when they don't have you to fall back on. It's always amazing what people can figure out when they have to.
Stay strong. |
