I keep trying to stay in contact with my not so reliable family. Trouble is every time I put myself on the line the times that it doesn't work out creates great pain. I get out of one situation and walk into another. The hard part is I chew myself up on the inside about it. Question is why do I keep doing it when it hurts so much!

Hi Pianogirlplays, I am so sorry your family puts you through this. Sounds like no consideration on their part. Remember the only thing we have control over is us, not them or the situation. Please try to take care of yourself and don't be so hard on you. Just because their actions have hurt you doesn't mean you have to hurt you! And why do you keep doing it when it hurts so much? Because you, like me try to believe people can change and things will be different, but somehow they never do. Please again I say...Take care of you! You matter!

You are still stuck in Family Process and Drama. That kind of thing is very hard to let go of, because it is very familiar. It is very scary to leave behind. Work with a Therapist to help you let go.

I do forget that there is a lot of unhealthiness in the family. Generations of difficulties! I wish it would stop. I keep trying to move forward.
