‘Projection? I think yes’: Cousin accuses woman of ‘ruining’ her life because of her success in life and family, despite her cousin being the root cause of a strenuous history of familial feuding

Growing up can be awkward, especially in a female body that is constantly under a microscope by family and society. Women are taught to compete with one another instead of uplifting each other, so it only makes sense that certain female family members might take it upon themselves to deem you their target. This isn't to say that the action of doing so isn't wrong, but it is a very unfortunate, normally occurring thing. The last thing you want is the people who should be looking out for you, making your life harder—but all it takes is some self-love to remind yourself that you deserve more than maltreatment.

The woman who posted this next story explains that her cousin has always hated her. She constantly made the woman's life hellish and never failed to kick her while she was already down. Over time, the woman found herself. The cousin, however, struggled in more ways than one, including losing her baby prematurely, and now blames the woman for "ruining" her life. The woman holds infinite amounts of empathy for her cousin regarding the child loss, but refuses to accept the blame for her life taking a turn for the worse. Then, the woman's father finally defends her from the cousin's major meltdowns. Scroll to read.
