I hate talking to my family.

I don't think I will ever be close to them.
My moms a stupid ***** who has NO education and thinks because I go to a community college that I'm stupid. And my brother who is only 15 likes to join in and argue about stupid **** while he doesnt know **** about the world.

I'm so god damn ticked off. I can't wait to move out. My mom is just mad shes a failure and is getting old and has a husband who can barely stand her. While I am young, going to college, and have a boyfriend who treats me with respect.

She's such a ****. Argh I just needed to vent

Wow i'm not yet in college i have two more years in my hell hole of a highschool but i deffinately know what your going through except im 16 and my little brother is 9 but the same exactthing is happening to me. Like 2 weeks ago i actually told her if she did one more thing to me i would leave the house and she whipped me so i packed my clothes teared all my posters and left all my baby pictures of me and her on her dresser and left to my best friends house. Although my dad picked me up that night i knew i stood up for something because parents can't just call us failures and all these mean things to get our attention. So i stood up to her and now we treat eachother with respect. I am not telling you to run awaya but just stand up to her respectfully and maybe things will change. But remember doing the same thing everyday and expecting things to change is the definition of insanity! Good luck

It took me many many many years (and years apart) from my mother to understand her and appreciate her.

You are probably right that your mum feels like a failure - so just remember that she possibly has no self confidence and low self esteem... Enough to make anyone feel like crap and express feelings that are negative.

Just don't let the negativity get you down xx

hi ,i want to tell you that in your age there is no way to have a good relationship with your family but at least try to have peace ,try to respect your mother and for sure things will be fine.

Hello El,

I can't really give any advice here because my family apart from my dad who is passed, are abject A**H***** and I don't have anything to do with them. Mum is abusive and always has been and is very bitter at the world and everyone in it. Brother thinks he is the patriarch but he is physically and emotionally abusive and sister is a drug addict who also sells drugs and I look at them all and think "they think I'm **** and they are this bad so what am I?!" I must be the worst of all people to walk the earth and I don't deserve any good in my life and what is the point in being here at all? These people know how to hurt and cause pain. They knew how close dad & I were but both mum and brother flatly refused to allow me to say anything at Dads funeral. I hate them, they knew how much that would hurt me. Why do people do those things?

im not sure why anyone would do that.... but i think its because all they know is pain so they can't feel or cause anything else but that...

I had a bad split with most of my family after my older brother committed suicide. Also, around the same time, my step father passed and my mother's Alzheimers was bad - so most of the family members who cared much about me, were gone or disabled.

I still have contact with my younger brother but he's in another state. I used to be closer to my family but have had abuse from the family as a whole too - its been a hard struggle for me with family in general.

So for anybody having hard family struggles or hatred between family members - let me say I can relate - its hard and I'm so sorry about it!

I didnt treat my family with respect when i was in my teens. It was only when i had to go far from them that i realized how precious they are! U might not be having a very close relationship wid ur mum ,but im sure she would be the last peson on earth who would want to see u suffering. Just hang in there!
