I no longer want to deal with some of the members of my family: parents and brother. For all I know they are dead in my eyes. I don't care why they must talk to me but still my mom must call and try to pass her message through my other sister so that I can get her message. I dont care if its out of good intentions. Nothing that they can ever do that will make me feel better. Get the HELL out of my life.

Its put my sisters in a awkward spot and I bet they dont like it. I just told my sisters to ignore that side of the family and whatever it is that my parents are saying or want me to know, that my sisters should just pretend that I'm already dead and there's nothing I need to hear from them.

I've already planned out how our holidays will be like. I will see my sisters before the big holidays and they can continue to have a jolly fake family gathering on Thanksgiving and Christmas and I'll be off volunteering in shelters wrapping gifts and feeding the homeless.

I'm at a time in my life where I gave up fighting for a family that I should have been given when I was young. I am angry and fed up. Enough is Enough and that family is no longer taking anymore part in my life. The people that calls themselves mom and dad are not deserving of that name in my eyes. They will never understand what they put me through and they will never feel bad for anything they did to me. I have no parents. Its just my sisters and 1 brother left in my life. The rest are dead to me.

know the feeling, yeah when they cant even acknowledge the past and what really was like. and when people say they did there best. deep down your starving for that real relationship with them. seems like mission impossible, some cases it probably is.

It's good to vent out like this. I wish I could :/ I hope everything goes out smoothly and that you'll be able to live your life again. Best of wishes

I don't know how old you are. But consider yourself lucky because you can feel and hurt and express your pain in a cathartic way. You can find the strength to stand up and demand... command better treatment from your loved ones. There are many people who cannot do this. They can't express their pain in healthy ways. They can only transfer that pain onto others through further abuse. When you are beating your head against a wall.... Sometimes you have to get away from the wall. But nurture what you have left.

Hi Jennifer

I hear you well. I'm in a similar boat. I want nothing more to do with mine, they're toxic. You need to be around people that make you feel good. Make your friends your family. I'm sick of playing happy family pretending everything is ok when it isn't. All the best.

I agree with you on not having to deal with the ones who are fake in your family. I have tried to do my part in my adopted family. My mom always takes or thinks of my brother all the time for how he will feel. When it comes to me nothing is ever wrong, I am lying. Enough is enough. I told my mom I don't need him in my life and that she needed to leave me out of trying to be his good sister and help him. Put my foot down and told her no no more, not even to his wife or my neice they are just fake. Only speaking to me when they need help. Hell no don't need them any more in my life. We deserve friends and family who really care and it is up to us to stand up for ourselves.
