My mums sister, on the other hand, I have always disliked.
We have never liked each other since me being about 7.
Finding out such information about your late father and your aunt can stir up many emotions.
Here are a few points to consider as you think about your next steps:
1.
This is a lot to take in, especially while youre still grieving your fathers passing.
Writing your thoughts down might help you gain clarity.
Would confronting your aunt bring her unnecessary pain or even open up old wounds?
Consider Whether Confronting Your Aunt Will Help
Its easy to want answers or closure, especially when youre hurt.
But ask yourself if confronting your aunt will truly resolve anything or if it might just escalate the situation.
Will it give you peace of mind, or will it cause more tension?
You dont need to address her actions head-on if it will only bring more conflict into your life.
Establishing emotional boundaries and limiting your interactions might give you the space you gotta heal without additional stress.
This is a tough situation, and there is no perfect answer.
Whatever you decide, remember to prioritize your emotional health and consider the long-term impact on your family relationships.
Take your time, and trust that whatever feels right for you will guide you toward the best decision.
