[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 677340, member: 18958"] When I had enough of my own family, I just went away. No letters. There was a time, before, that I did tell my mother of my anger in phone calls. It did not help. It upset both of us and I do not recall it helped. I went away. For 15 years or so. Without contact at all from my family who did not call me. Only once did my sister send a wedding invitation to her second wedding. I think I would have either been a display item or she wanted me to see all of her presents, and weep in envy. She married well financially. That was the arrangement. I think to rub your family's face in it is sadistic. There is a wanting to cause hurt. That is even worse than shunning. It is shunning in order to break a person. The hope is that they will break. Shunning: To define oneself as more powerful, better relative to others by ostracizing the other. To define oneself to oneself as powerful enough to control and define your environment. To punish anybody who questions your power, by rejecting your attempt to control and define them. COPA [/QUOTE]
