[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a family member with whom I no longer speak. We have a long history but for the sake of this post, she’s essentially the golden child and I’m the black sheep. My family is very toxic and any relationship I have with them is strictly out of obligation.

My mother loves to brag about the easily acquired successes of a particular family member. Despite expressing my desire not to discuss this person in any capacity and shutting it down when it happens, my mother always manages to first sneak in a brag about their high-paying job, expensive new house, luxurious travel, etc, etc.

So you can imagine my surprise today when I found out from an outside impartial source about two really big blows this person experienced this year. I was shocked!

So here I am. Both of these things happened in January. If they had been happy things, I have zero doubts my mother wouldn’t have made a phone call to me just to fit in a brag. It’s ironic though that she hasn’t even spoken about these setbacks. I want to be the bigger person, but a part of me wants to rub this in my moms face. DCUM, please talk me down and help me process this. [/quote]

DCUM is here for you - give us some details on these setbacks![/quote]
