I am the youngest of 6 siblings. I have always been under attack by the 2 oldest in particular. There is a long history, that I won't go into. I am expressing it this way, because it is the only way I know how to without going into a long drawn out story
Say there are 3 dogs, one of the dog is passive, just minding it's own business. Along come two aggressive dogs, they start picking a fight on the passive dog, calling him names, blaming him for everything, etc. The passive dog says to them, "Why are you doing this to me?, I am not fighting with you". Then, the two dogs find fault with him for that also. And he is continually blamed for everything, even though he has done nothing.
I am the passive one, and my older sister and brother are the aggressers. I am choosing as I always have, to ignore them. My brother has just recently attacked me verbally through email, and I am ignoring him. But, I have cried a lot the last few days over this. And wonder what I can do, to get myself emotionally stronger, to not be so sensitive. I have small children, and I don't like them seeing me cry. I would appreciate any insight. I would be willing to go into more detail if asked, but only through my private email. Thank you.
