I know the feeling, I’ve had to do the same with my sister. Talking to her had become nothing but a grievance fest. At any given time one of the family was in her bad graces even if they never knew it. She LOVED to moan and complain to me and I’d finally had enough after she and her husband told our brother that they were tired of taking him to his cancer treatments. He wasn’t perfect, had been in trouble with the law but they were supposedly the best Christian’s in the world. 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄 I rolled my eyes so much with them!
