Need some advice

I've been dealing with some family issues and need some advice on how to deal with it. I've been told recently I have been rude and being a b**tc to certain people in my family. (Brother and sister) They are saying I'm acting this way cause I think I am so much better then they are since I've lost my weight. The truth is I am tired of the drama that surrounds them and I'm finally saying something about it and I don't want to listen to it anymore. This drama is always constant and never seems to go away. Should I just keep putting up with it for the sake of my family? Should I just cut ties with them? Please help and any advice is sure welcome. Thanks!!!!

I have found that my sisters arent nearly as supportive of me lately as I am with them. I have always dropped my life, and helped them through whatever they needed; divorce, having kids, babysitting so they can go out, etc. Now when I am off work with severe back issues and the upcoming surgery, no one calls or stops by. I thought I could count on them more and it makes me sad and depressed . But I would never cut them from my life. This phase will pass and we are family and that's what's important to me!

The issues go way beyond my weight loss. I live over 150 miles away from them. I seem to be the call to person when someone wants something. When I'm visiting, they don't even give me the time of day besides making rude comments to me or when she wants something. My sister has gotten into this mindset that everyone owes her something or that everything needs to be about her. It's all childish behavior. If and when she decides to grow up and realize I don't care who was talking crap about who or what my parents do or any of that, I may decide to let her back into my life. Right now, I took a step to better my life with this surgery and we all know how hard this is without all the negativity and drama. For once I am focusing on myself, my needs, and my health.

It's sad that my husbands family is very very supportive of me and our (my husband and myself) decision to live a healthier lifestyle and they are all very much over weight. They've even started cooking more at home then going out.

That's ur support sissy. U stay there. That's how my boyfriends family is. I stay strong u got support and it will het closer and bond tighter.
