Lone Wolf vs Internal Sibling Divisions

I am not a fan of having drama in my life. Nor, do I see a need to worry about how others think of the way that I am living my life. I also do not lose any sleep when someone is upset with me about something that has no direct bearing with their life, because of the choices that I make. This is the way of a person with a Lone Wolf mentality.

When someone asks for my opinions about something that they are currently dealing with, I give it to them. Otherwise, I keep my opinion to myself while listening to someone telling me about current dilemma. With this being said, I tend to stay away from those that appear to keep unnecessary drama in their lives. I also choose not to be around people that tend to be upset with me because of family members that I choose not to want to communicate with anymore. To a person with a Lone Wolf mentality, they tend to learn how to survive on their own for so long others opinions really don't mean that much to them. My decisions to do or not do something sometimes tend to rub others the wrong way. I don't feel that I have to explain myself to anyone that don't agree with my decisions. In same turn, I can respect a decision that someone made with a need for an explanation. This is the way of a person with a Lone Wolf mentality.

On Sunday, one of my half-siblings appeared upset with me for not wanting to speak to my dad. This same half-sibling may be upset with me because I told one of my half-siblings that she didn't need to keep checking up on me every week. I am a forty-seven year old adult. I made it through my elementary, junior high, high school, college, and career without their opinions and or lack of support to even want to be in my life during those times. so, I do not see a need for my half-siblings attempt to have any control over my life now. If my half-siblings can't respect my choice to not speak to my dad, or my other half-siblings, I don't need them in my life also. This is the mentality of a person with a Lone Wolf mentality.

I'll always care about my half-siblings. But, like my dad, they think they can show up during my adult phase of my life and attempt to conform me to their way of thinking about my dad. My half-siblings may have experienced life a little different with dad. But, my dad has been so judgemental with my life, if he isn't bad mouthing my mother to me, I don't need to justify not wanting to be around him. And, since I have been living a good productive lifestyle and career up until now with my dad in my life, I am choosing to keep my dad out of the rest of my life. If this decision of mine upsets my half-siblings, then they don't have to be in my life also. This is my way of the Lone Wolf.
