I would agree. My family has taken advantage of me a lot. And I don't get much in return. I pretty much gave up on my family. They aren't really there for me unless I have something they need. When I stoped "lending" them money a lot of them quit calling me. When I say no to something even with just cause they tend to get angry and don't talk to me.

I think my mom is the only one that genuinly would try to help me, but I have issues with her too. When my parents got divorced she worked all the time and I didn't see her much. She also didn't show much emmotions towards me. On top of that knowing that she cheated on my father and I am the result of an accident doesn't make my life any easier. I don't think I love her really. I mean im not a jerk and I say I do, but I don't feel it. It seems to be too late for her to take an interest in my life. On top of that I can't remember the last person that called me to see how I am doing. My phone number hasn't changed in 10 years and my families knows I have depression. I feel used and taken for granted by most of them. I guess it is a good thing they don't call me.
