10:26 They abandoned reason and hurt your feelings for their own validation. You didn't abandon them, you just got tired of them using you for their own validation.
Her parents need friends of their own or hobbies. Their children are in their 20s, they have jobs, friends, possibly lovers so the parents need to let them go. I know it must be hard but what do they expect that their children stay home with them forever 😮
Daaang, OP is so Full of Hope. I can't believe that OP honestly thinks that she ran into her brother at that Cafe, BY Chance. The same brother that had been stalking her. Taking pictures of her out with friends. Posting them with snide remarks. Sister only realized how demanding and smothering they were being because it dawned on her that she'll be wanting to leave the family house pretty soon. Would her parents and brother treat her just like they have OP. Or would it be worse. OP has a lot more patience than I do. I would be checking at work to see if I could transfer to a location that was at least a 10 hour drive away. Or looking for a new job that was at least a 10 hour drive away. Having a close family unit isn't always a good thing. OP is a perfect example of that.
showing up unannounced and being upset when no one answers the door is so dumb. like imagine op wasn't home and then just knock and shout for an hour, leaving sad like you don't even know if they're home LMAO
I get it but that is not OP"s situation. I find that when you set boundaries you have to adhere to them 1000% initially. If you allow them to be disrespected the first time it just gets worse
