Detachment is making me so depressed

I am detaching form family.
They are not supportive of me and
it started after parents died
They tell me what to do and wear makeup and gossip
I am detaching but I feel more depressed

I'm so sorry to hear that....nobody has right to tell you what to do...you got to do whatever is more comfortable with you....
You need to be yourself....and to do that I don't think there is any need to get detached from your family...family is very important....
probably, you either got to talk to them and tell them to stop giving you advice, or just listen to them and not apply it in your life....then they will give up....
My family sometimes give me headache too....like the other day, my mom called me and told me why I don't get married or whatever.....it's so funny...I'm trying to find a guy in my life and I need a partner so much but it's difficult to find then my mom is just pushing me to get married...with who? now you understand how unreasonable they can be....then she told me that I want to fall in love and get married....yes, of course....hehehehe....what it's not a 14th century to just get married with any guy coming into your life....
Anyway....don't let them to make you depressed....be happy with what you are and let them know strongly....tell them that you are different than them and they got to accept you because you are the family!
take care

I undestand it is really hard to detach yourself from your family. But if they are making your life hard then you gotta do what you gotta do. My family turned so ill towards me after my mom passed away. They were telling me what to do with her estate and actually arguing with me on what they should get from it. I don't speak to them anymore. It hurts but I can not put up with their nit picking.

I have had to detach from my father and 3 brothers since my Mom's death four years ago. To me this hasn't meant any big pronouncement to any of them - I don't know if they are even aware that I have. I still communicate with all of them. But the difference is they no longer hold any power over me. I let their opinions about me and my lifestyle or choices go in one ear and out the other. It has been a very freeing experience. Good luck!!!

I am detached now it has been awhile but now it is detachment- no cards
for anything or gfits for anything or anyone or go to anything with them wedding .anything
The contact is negative from them since parents died
It is freeing- thank you for your comments
