Family relationship

[Susannah]

Do you have a close family? Any support from your parents, sisters or brothers? I know family can be quite challenging from time to time, but except from "normal" difficulties all families experience, are your family "functional" enough to help you if you really need them?

A very close family because we keep our disgusting truths between all of us.
I can't rely on anyone for support. If I'm having issues with my mother, then my siblings are supportive since they hate her guts. Thats about it. My siblings have each other for the most part. I have no place here. My father leaves me alone because we have nothing in common. Barely spoken a word to him yet known him for all my life. Kinda strange and abnormal family relationships really

I've always had issues with my mother. I hate her, yet I love her. She's got a severe progressive neurolocical disease for the last 15 years, now getting to the brain. Before she was "just" hysterical, old school and critical. Now it's like having a teenager mum on speed.

I love my dad, but they got divorced when I was 14, and my mum swore to kill herself if I had any contact with him. I met him in secret. He's getting old and in early stage of dementia. Still down to earth though.

My brother is much younger than me, never been close. My sister died many years ago in an accident. Guess her death ruined all of us.

I have a good family thats why doing this is so hard. We are there for one another, but noone actually talks about any of their problems. Close but not close, it's hard to explain noones really a talker I guess. My mums passing 4 years ago ripped a great big hole through the middle as she was the glue.

 

[Crest33]

My family all have a good heart for sure. But i feel different than them, I don't fit with my parents like my sister for example. I sometimes wished I was born elsewhere. Not that I have it bad, I have everything I could possibly want except the social skills.

With these powers combined, you have...
One perfectly dysfunctional family ! Yeah!!!

Where you don't know your dad, can't talk to your mom, & won't talk to your estranged sister!

Not to mention, you will have emotional scars that you refuse to accept and will make things much worse later on in life! Woo!!!!

But that's not all!

Your extended family will be equally dysfunctional and you will find out that depression and other mental issues run in your family! Yay!!!!!

But don't worry, you get to have this bonus prize~

You're very own... rescued dog that you will cherish and love forev— oh wait. ..

Lol.

My family is not supportive and any type
of relationship is not possible due my character traits.

I think at one point, everyone in my family all had good hearts. Then slowly some didn't care to lose it, and others became cynical.


And sorry about your mom— Her own inner demons + age make the battle much harder.

My condolences for you sister— were you guys close?

All my family are a clusterfuck of toxic shitheads. Both my parents are narcissistic sociopaths, my brother is another raging narcissist, my sister is high-functioning Aspergers with multiple personality disorders. If my psycho father and brother dropped dead today, I'd have a celebration party. They're both arrogant chauvinist pigs and I loathe them.

My sister and mother are both bitches who blamed me for my cancer. Now my sister needs surgery for potential thyroid cancer and my mother has dementia. They're slightly easier to deal with than the other two fuckers but in general the whole family is a shitshow. I'm planning to go abroad to CTB so that I can get away from them all forever.

 

[GreenLantern]

I hate them. They are my mortal enemies. They ganged up on me, bullied and teased me and made me feel bad. They are worst or at best just as bad as the rest of the world. I was hoping to keep them estranged when I die, but it looks I won't be able to. But at least they won't be able to make me suffer anymore.

 

[Angst Filled Fuck Up]

My parents are nice and mean well, but getting them to understand how I feel is a chore so I tend to be fairly superficial with them. My brother is also nice but keeps things pretty bro-like and isn't willing to engage with me on a more complex level. My sister is my least favorite to talk to, and is a counselor/life coach, of all things. She has led a charmed and outgoing life, so I found it almost insulting when I found out she was going to be doing all that. And out of all my family members, she gets it the least.

 

[Jodes]

My family is loving but totally messed up. Help is limited but what could they do anyway

 

[Smashingairwaves]

I absolutely hate my family and have barely seen them since 17. My mother is an alcoholic and my father is fucking useless

My gf's family is like that. I got an insight before she terminated contact

 

[Jodes]

se. My sister died many years ago in an accident. Guess her death ruined all of us.

I'm so sorry

I have a very small family. Only my brother and I left, the rest are all dead. My brother and I aren't close, we're distant, and do an every 3 month phone call to check on each other. We've had our problems when we were younger, but it's been resolved. My wife's family is huge, they're relatively nice, but I don't feel a strong connection to them.

It's okay, my mom and dad disowned me when I was a teenager.

Nightmare :( so sorry about your sister - in such a loving family awful, having an unexpected sudden death

 

[Fucking loving it]

My mother will listen to me. Even when I tell her I'm going to hang myself full suspension out where no one will find me. She won't tell anyone bc she doesn't want me to "look bad." Or have my son taken again. (Even though he'd be with family )

My father. Well there's abuse there. I talk to him once a year. If he hears about any of my mental health he tells me no one will want to be around me. Tell me I'm sick in the head.

My sister, if I tell her anything she tells everyone. Unless it has to do with weed pills or drinking.

I feel like I need my mom. She accepts me for who I am.

 

[Sundayafternoon]

Nah. All dead and estranged. A few relatives i send/rec obligatory check-in texts from. And my dad. But nothing that feels like family. I'm dolo.

 

[DesperateChallenge]

I'm not close with my family.
I didn't have a nurturing relationship with my parents growing up. It was very cold and unemotional. Not abusive, and I'm sure they love me, but not once have I ever heard those three words. I can't go to them when I am struggling. I can't go to them for a hug I live with them but feel so alone and desperate for human contact and closeness. One time when I was 15 I told my mom I loved her and I was met with "who told you to say that?" I said I would never try that again. They are oblivious to my mental health struggles even though they know I've been hospitalized 6 or 7 times. It just contributes to my depression and suicidal thoughts even more.
