Not one but two brothers have told me now a lot of crap I didn’t need to hear…I’m not going into it…but I am no longer going to family functions to keep away from my two brothers…my sister too…but that has been coming a long, long time.

I am an only child between my dad and mom. I have half siblings. When my dad passed his whole family pissed me off. They’re breeders, rude, and I couldn’t give a ■■■■ either way. They can leave me alone too. Whether it’s couldn’t or could. ■■■■ all. I hope I never see them again.

Be strong.

I have an unpopular opinion. You don’t see your family that often. So it’s not really worth cutting them off despite getting into arguments with them. If anything you don’t want to upset your elderly mother. And I’m sure she doesn’t like to see her kids fight. Sometimes it’s better to keep peace and resolve family disputes than cut everyone off.

Or just offend them so badly they leave you in peace for the rest of your life.

Jukebox I’m sorry. I was overwhelmed this is not my thread.

I did what you suggested with my wife’s cousins some years back. They don’t bother me now, I’m not bothered by them, and I have much fewer problems with my wife being upset by me colliding with them. Sometimes you just gotta burn that bridge.

I always feel separate around my folks, like they don’t want me around and just have me over for Christmas just to be nice
My older sister actually thought I was stupid and delusional enough to ‘literally’ imagine a girl friend she even asked me for a picture of us together
She thinks my SZ makes me an idiot, she does not understand the illness at all :sweat:

my mom knows what a ■■■■ my brother is…she won’t mind me staying away from the family functions…at this point, it’s just not worth the trouble of putting up with my plastic family anymore @sweetpotatocasserole

I hear you for sure.

I heard a saying once

You have your 10 hour friends
You have your 1 hour friends
And you have your 10 minute friends etc

Your time is yours to allot how you feel is best. If they’re cruel to you distance sounds like a good idea.
