It's a tricky situation not fully knowing the context. My opinion, and it may not fit the situation, is that the family you're born into is not something you can choose, and despite what most people say... it's often not the healthiest environment. People with good families and supportive parents often don't understand that some people just aren't that lucky... and will tend to say rather judgmental things about you not getting on with your parents or relatives.

Just you have to do what's best for you. One thing I've found in my life is the family I chose is better than the family I was born into. Friends, real friends, they choose you and you choose them. They care about you, they want what's best for you, and they like you for a reason, you know, so there's got to be something good about you.

Your real family? Well I don't know your situation, but my family only cared about me when I was something worth bragging about. The moment the depression made it hard for me to keep up my grades and my sports... they stopped caring about me. You heard of fair weather friends? Imagine fair weather parents. Maybe you don't have to imagine...

Like I said, I don't know your situation, but you have to do what's best for you. If the negativity is holding you back, you need to get away from it. If they won't or can't understand that their criticism is hurting you instead of helping you... you need to get gone... but try first, really, try to talk to them if you can. I know that isn't always easy...
