I am so sick of my family. I am sick of the expectations they place on me, the disapproval when I do not 'live up' to those expectations, and the judgement I receive for being less than the perfect daughter.

I have to stop talking to them. I think my heart is breaking. It kills me to make this decision. The fella and I have discussed this repeatedly. One might say it feels as if we have discussed it ad nauseum, ad infinitum. I have to just let them go. They cannot talk to me without slamming me with harsh words and guilt-inducing emotions, so I have to step away. I have asked them repeatedly not to talk to me about Bug, but they will not listen. I know they are my parents, but I realized something. The only way I can continue to respect them is to not say anything.

Radio Silence has its place. I wish it was not necessary here. Sadly, it is. It is a sad, sad day.
