I can't imagine how it must be to live with such meanness within the heart. How sad, to have the need to intentionally hurt, humiliate and stalk ones own kin. Banality of evil. It seems, that certain people (and the world has more than it's fair share of like minded/hearted folk) will go to any means possible, to justify the ends. Your example of kindness and love, your attempts at forgiveness and tolerance bears witness to your goodness and right heart. You have created a family of choice, that tenderly care for you, and love you. You have "won" in so many ways. The loss, for people who walk this earth with hatred, and a need for vengeance, is that there are those, who will stand up and say by their deeds "NO MORE." Then what are the vengeful left with? The loss, the poison of their hatred and ugly acts, witnessed by the universe. There is no justification for this. It will fester on, and on. A cancer, building up inside, [I]suffocating[/I]. Banality of evil. You have every reason in the world, to walk away with your head held high, knowing that you tried the best you could despite great injury to your soul, to have a relationship with your sister. Too bad. That is a great loss for her, I think. Banality of evil. There is no gain. You have won, a thousand times over. To infinity and beyond. Good for you Serenity. Peace. That is the win for you. Peace and love. What a sweet nectar. (((HUGS))) leafy [/QUOTE]
