The First Blog of Many

I haven't posted a blog in many, many years and decided it was time to vent my spleen in a different medium. So where do I begin?? .....

I could start with the whole depressing saga of my relationship with my sister and the AVO, which has ended it. 

I guess things with my sister have always been rocky. It's just this time, I'd had enough. I'm so sick and tired of being treated like dirt from someone who is meant to care about me and love me unconditionally, yet instead she harrasses me, threatens violence and my death, never seems to factor in that I am more than someone she can just push around and blame everything on and expect me to be okay with it the next day. Her unpredictable violent behaviour has lead to me fearing for my life and safety for the last time. I can't take anymore of this unhealthy relationship. I'm so tired of having to be the strong one and taking everyone's shit. This is the last time I will sit idlely by and let her threaten me. If anyone who wasn't family did what she has done to me, they would have been stopped instantly. Yet it has taken 8 years of bullshit and death threats for me to take a stance. An extreme situation lead to a logical and seemingly not so extreme reaction/solution. ie she invited back to Goulburn for her 21st, then threatens to hurt me and kill me and expects me to be okay with that/let her get away with it. So as an act of self preservation, I called the Police and requested an Apprehended Domestic Violence Order be taken out against. Requested accepted! She goes to court on Wednesday regarding the charges, which she and mum have requested that I drop .... Not over my dead body. Actions have consequences. These are the consequences she will have to live with, potentionally jail time. I will not feel guilty for taking a stance!!!!!
