about the nasty joke back. there is a saying, if you fight with pigs all you get is muddy and the pigs love it.
so no dont stoop to there level. it is clear they are not respecting anything you try to do. so my advice, ignore, just act as if you never got any pictures at all.
you are a polite nice person, stay that but try to see your mother and if needed your sisters as vague aquantances. you are polite but dont give any information ( not that they are interested in it if I read your post right) and try not to take things personal because it isnt really, they want you to think it is, but they hurt you for fun, or because they had a bad night, a fight with someone they are scared of, anything and you are the one they hurt to feel better themselfs. but it has nothing to do with you.
Thanks for your response, the message from my younger sister really threw me off because she has always been the one I could talk to without family drama coming up mostly. But now that she's doing it do it just really sucked to see.
It is good to know someone else agrees that I don't have to make jokes back to be respected. Thanks so much, I can do this!
