I gave up trying to please other people decades ago lol

I live with my decisions, good or bad, they were mine to make and I cannot blame anyone else, nor for that matter, thank them :-D

Sounds like you're best rid of them!
My mind boggles (like Sylvia's), but possibly not for the same reason, at how your lifestyle, with (I presume) an adult child who no longer lives at home, and siblings who (I hope) live in their own homes (with their own lives) affects anyone else! :-S

Unless, of course you've 'blown' the fortune they hoped to inherit/manipulate on enjoying yourselves, in which case s*d them :-D

The mind boggles ;-) .........

but as Caroline said, as long as you are not bothering them or anyone else and you are happy and content, then it's no-one else's business

Assuming you're not having a negative impact on anyone then it's none of their business.

Son doesn’t approve of how we live our life but we are happy he isn’t because he can’t manipulate us to his advantage, same with my sisters. A lot more to it than that but that just about sums it up.

Our son and my sisters have disowned us good and proper, finally he has got his stuff back, it’s all double standards because they have all disowned us for the same reason and that is totally wrong because they have done the same things more than once and guess who came to their rescue every time except this one.
