#bedsides which her abusive husband will still br whispering poison in her ears all the time

Hnnngh. I haven’t been talking to my sister for like four years. She’s in an abusive relationship and I was trying to support her, but she radicalized as a result of her shitty husband. She tried to hide it until I confronted her and she ended up telling me she didn’t think trans people deserve rights. So I cut contact.

But it sucks. I still have dreams where she apologizes and turns back into the sister I looked up to. And I hate that her abusive husband has very successfully cut her off from any support networks.

She messaged me today out of the blue talking about His Dark Materials and she’s not allowed on social media so I know it was just a funny universe coincidence. But I started texting back.

We had a short talk about books and she said she was glad I responded because she misses me. I don’t want to start shit but I don’t want her in my life more than this small chat because it’s not like she’s stopped being hateful, but I do miss the sister I grew up with.
