but her beloved grandmother and 2nd aunt got to read it or not
Well done girl. Respect is a two-way street, and not automatically accorded to seniors.
Obnoxious relatives should be ostracized. Do not attend their weddings, baby showers, birthday parties or funerals. If they have a stroke or are hospitalized, ignore them. I have done it. Cut them loose.
You do 初一, and I do 十五. Try me.
Relax lah... the way to true happiness is inner peace. By forgiveness, we achieve inner peace - through it we can truly be happy. That is the Buddhist way.
Obnoxious relatives should be ostracized.
I am a coward. No matter what happened and no matter how much insult I got from my relatives, I will not publicly declare such condemnation. I will still give them a chance......
I will quietly ignore them and slowly ostracise them. In one particular case, my mum and I had to give assistance to one of my relatives who looked down upon us with scorn and contempt when he was doing well. He had a stroke and was bed-ridden. Mum and I had to go to his small rented room ( his mistress had absconded with all his wealth ) and looked after him.We even had to arrange for his funeral. I still believe we need not have to openly condemn our " relatives". Forgiveness and magnanimosity is a virtue worth cultivating.
