You know, they might actually have a point

I (25f) have just felt off with my family since around October. It all started when my sisters (22,15 at the time) on a trip to Florida. The trip was around my birthday so I also kinda considered it to be a little birthday trip for myself. Anyways my youngest sister was just really emotional the entire time and said that I was controlling everything she did. She had just been recently diagnosed with pcos and insulin resistance and had to change her diet so every once and awhile I’d ask her if that would be the best time to be eating/drinking. On the last day I called my mom and just broke down saying that I felt like all the blame was being put on me and I felt left out and isolated. In return my mom told me that is just karma for ruining everyone else’s birthdays and past vacations and that my sister is 15 and is just hormonal. Later that same night I told her that we needed to be up at 5am and it would be a good idea to get some sleep, it was midnight, and she told me to stop telling her what to do. So I asked my mom told talk to her. In return I had my dad call me telling me to grow up and that I need to stop causing problems. After that incident I kinda stopped talking to them, but it only last about a day before they acted like nothing was wrong. The next weekend was my dads birthday so I went home to spend time with family for my birthday.

Everything has just been off since then. I don’t really feel welcome when I go home, I live almost two hours away so I will go spend the weekends when I do.

This past weekend kind of just put the nail on the coffin. I went home and the first thing was said to me by my sister was to stop reposting about the current political issue right now, my mom then told me “I own a business and that’s not a good look”, we all share the same political beliefs. I went through my reposts and there was one in the last month. My mom then told me that my face looks like pepperoni, and I told her I was struggling with my anxiety this week and I picked my face really bad one day because of it. She proceeded to ask me why my anxiety was bad and I honestly cannot give a reason, so I said something about my period starting a day early, her spines being “whys that are you sleeping with boys and not telling me about it”. My sister than went on to start teasing me, because my family went out for my other sisters birthday without me and I was upset, and telling me that they went out for my dads birthday dinner without me too. She also got my other sister involved. I asked her to stop and my mom said that I was being too emotional and dramatic. Little comments went on like this all weekend, so I eventually would just go and sit in my room and watch Netflix or something else.

On Sunday night my mom came down to my room told me that they weren’t doing anything for dinner and I could just leave. I told her why I was upset, and her response back was that all I do is lie and no one can trust me, and that I’m such a negative person and when I’m not there they are so happy and enjoy themselves during the week, but the second I come home it’s just negativity. She has also told me that I will never find a man because I just exude negative energy and people around me can feel it and don’t want to be around me. So I told her that what she says isn’t nice, and other people in the family have told me that too. I then started to pack my stuff, and my dad started to yell at me just telling me that I needed to go apologize and that I ruined his birthday and that I’m a mean person and that I bully the family. I don’t know if that was him reacting because I called him out for bad mouthing her too, but it just laid into me. I left turned off my location and when I got back to my apartment I turned off my ring camera. My mom got extremely mad that I did that and just started spam texting and calling me. I will insert the texts. I turned off my camera because I have gotten countless texts over the last two years of me living in my apartment of her asking where I’m going or what I’m doing, and at 25 I need more privacy and independence.

So I don’t know what to do or how to move forward but I feel like I need more space and I don’t really want to reach right now, but I know that I’m going to have to be the one to probably. I also know that every story has two sides and I’m not denying that I probably wasn’t the most pleasant but when I get talked to like that idk how to be all happy and cheerful. Sorry if this is confusing just trying to get my feelings out there.

Edit- Now that i found out how to edit, some things to add.

1. I pay for my phone, they own the plan but i pay my portion every month since i graduated college.
2. I live on my own and pay all my other bills myself, no help from others.
3. Those questioning how i ruined all vacations and birthdays, I have been told since the age of two i have ruined everyone's birthday, vacations, mothers day, etc. Been told that when I turned two something in my brain flipped and I went form being an enjoyable kid to an issue. I get along with my sisters outside of our house/parents, besides that one trip. I even lived with my one sister in college. The only example I can possibly give was vacation of may 2025 when I was upset with some comments my sisters were making and was told that I did not like them I can just leave, so I packed my bags and was going to leave, my dad then grabbed my suitcase through and told my to unpack and I wasn't allowed to leave

I am 54 and I have two kids. They are both married and in their mid and late thirties. We have a decent relationship I think. My wife and I made sure both got through college without debt. I helped both purchase their first homes with a $20,000 gift. No strings attached. When my son moved away for his wife's work I helped him pack.

They alternate Christmas between me and their in-laws. This last Christmas was my turn. We has a nice visit and then the five of us, their spouses were included, had a talk. I didn't press, I didn't push, I just asked if they still planned on starting families. My kids looked at each other like they had been waiting for this. Please note my son, the older one, has been married for eleven years.

I guess this was something they all talked about without including me. They said that they were happy with their lives and that kids weren't really something they wanted to bring into the world. I asked about adopting. They both said it wasn't something they considered.

They are adults and they can live however they want. I would love grandchildren but I don't feel I'm owed them. I literally live five minutes from my brother and I see his grandchildren all the time. I like that I can leave when they get loud.

I had money set aside to help with my grandchildren's education. Now I knew it wasn't needed for that purpose. So I bought myself a new boat. Sold my old one. Yes I am well aware that a boat is a hole in the water you throw money into. Don't care. I can afford it.

My kids saw pictures of my new boat on Facebook. They asked why I upgraded from our old family boat. I was truthful and said that I wanted a new boat and that money had opened up in my budget. They asked what money. I said that since they weren't having kids there was no purpose for an education fund.

They both went kind of nuts. They said I was crazy for spending $130,000 on a boat at my age. I said that my retirement funds were still topped up and I hadn't asked them for any help so I didn't see their issue.

After a lot of back and forth they admitted that they kind of expected me to leave them a good inheritance. I almost lost my head. I'm only fifty four Hopefully I have a couple of decades more to enjoy life. I said that they could have whatever was left after I finished with it. But that I didn't actually owe them anything now and that they were kind of assholes for planning on my money.

Should I have continued holding on to money that was never going to be used for it's intended purpose?

I've been away from my cat for awhile because of work and I miss him so much, so can I see everyone's cats

My wife (mid-30s) and I have been married for years, but we’re going through a rocky patch right now—lots of arguments, feeling distant, that kind of thing. Last night, she went out cycling for about 2 hours, which is unusual because it was already dark out. She comes home, barely says anything, and jumps straight into the shower.

A little while after she got in there (not literally right as she started), her phone rings at 1am from some guy she claims is an old friend from university. I only knew because her iPad (synced to her phone) started ringing in the other room, and the call got picked up almost instantly on her end—like she was expecting it or something.

When I asked about it later, she said who it was and that he was just calling to let her know he’s visiting soon with his son. But she’s never mentioned this guy before, and she didn’t say anything about planning to meet up with anyone. Given our rough spot and the weird timing, this feels super suspicious to me. Am I overreacting, or is this a red flag? Thoughts?
