I have been dealing with the issue of family bulling and ostracization for almost 20 years. It started with beign kicked out of my own house as soon as my father died and mother remarried to being yelled and still talked to like a spoiled child by my 80 year old mother. I moved 6 states away last year for a job with the idea of never going back home, but stil cannot cut the strings for some reason. Its so bad right now that it makes complete sense to never have anything to do with them again, but I just keep going back and gettign into these horrific arguments over the phone. I wish I had friends to distract me. I just absolutely hate these people.
