[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My grandmother held grudges her whole life against her siblings. Her father was abusive and she had to help her mother escape and then survive, and none of her siblings would lift a finger to assist. She would ruminate about how useless they all were. She lived to her mid 90s and was 100% sharp mentally the whole time. She was Polish btw. I think this trait bodes well for her, I'd rather be somewhat negative and have all my marbles than happy and demented.[/quote] I think the only destructive thing here is the ruminating. Staying away from the siblings who wouldn't lift a finger is probably better for her health if they didn't take any accountability. Now we have therapy so we don't ruminate and can instead process. Regardless, a therapist would tell you if the person brings you misery and you don't have to see them, don't. [/quote]
