My mom is really nice and supportive so are my siblings… sometimes my distrust and paranoia get in the way but I know if I needed help they would be there …

Had you asked me this the other week my answers would have been different. I do love them but things are very complicated.

A personal vent that I feel like I want to confront a sibling about: vaping is way uncool, costly, and alcohol is not a way to bond. Needs to learn self respect and not be afraid to say no. He’s really afraid of being hurt or something? He doesn’t seem to get you can still be you and not partake in that.

Ugh hurts so bad. Makes me want to graze my face on the floor. It’s been decades of that.

Mother… I know I annoy her and haven’t gotten used to it. Wish she’d stop freaking out about me going outside just to walk to the store. I get too bothered by it. Softness is okay but a walk to the local store is not walking 500 yards across a hot desert bare foot.

I still get paranoid outside though . :frowning:

To be honest, I have an incredible bond with my family. Even if my siblings are much younger than me we get along pretty nice and we often take family trips around the country.

My parents kindof hated me.

My “mother” was jealous of me and when I was around seven decided to destroy me and succeeded with that in Sweden.

I was treated differently than “siblings”.

“Mother emotionally tortured me and her husband almost killed me and so did she .
They did some wierd bdsm emotionally and would ridecule and mock my suffering and then laugh together.

I was sexually molested.
From other side of “family”.

I was an outsider and treated differently.

“Mother “ said things like she wishes I was never born , I ruined her life , she despises me , I’m the biggest mistake she ever made etc

I think they stole from me and may have done other stuff I can’t prove .

I loved them all unconditionally and forgave them year after year.

“My mother “ emails me three times a year or so and every time I send her a photo of me she says something nadty .ladt time she said I have cold hard ugly eyes n hers are so beautiful and mine are so ugly .
Comparing our eyes in her favour and with hate.
That’s sick!
I’ll never send her a photo of me again.

“The father” said I don’t deserve pets because I don’t work and always devalues me as worthless trash .
He said I should never have children and he would make sure I don’t.
“Sister “ he said should have children and treated her as perfect and brother they were treated soooo differently.

I was seriously emotionally tortured and treated differently.
Can’t compare!

I am living in former stepmother apartment and can’t afford to move.

“Family” don’t love me and disrespect me etc

I avoid them.

“Father “ one I’m almost no contact with.
I only sent him birthday card or so.

They never loved me but pretended to to look good .

“Mother one” hurt me so much and continues to be horrible such as saying what she did about my eyes….
I want to go no contact with her in a way .

She knew I was unwell and didn’t ask how I am or show any care .

Ghosts me etc

I loved her but she hated me back.

Treated her other children well and turned them against me since birth.

I may try to go grey rock as they call it.
That’s very little contact .

She studied university psychology all her life but I think she uses it in evil ways unfortunately and not to do good genuinely.
But to destroy a person etc

I believe I have a soul family out there somewhere who loves me n values me n wishes me well as I they.

In a way I want to give up all contact with “family “.

“Siblings” were invited fancy parties etc etc and praised and adored by “ family while I was treated like worthless trash to disrespect and hate and de value etc

I can’t explain all here but I was treated differently and badly.

After growing up abused and neglected, I’m now close to my mom. But I’m not close to my dad.

I am close to one sister but not the other

My former step mother was nice to call on phone and ask how I am and let me live in her apartment etc

Her family and children etc don’t like her helping me or calling me etc so she hasn’t been calling on phone this year .

I always loved her but people tried coming between us so I question things and hope her love and care is sincere .

Some people pretended to love me while destroying me…

I think i should move to an area with my kinda people.
Who wish me well and are good to and for me …

Also torturing someone and then comparing them to someone who was treated beautifully and had everything….

Parents are more/less fine, siblings do take advantage and are unfairly accusatory of “benefit scrounging” and other discriminatory things too

My relations with parents is okay… I feel like I’m a burden to them sometimes. But I love them a lot…

My siblings are okay… I really love my sister and brother but my sister moved off a long time ago so we haven’t been as close since… my brother I always felt like has an evil side… and he gets rather jealous… he also doesn’t live in the same town and we’ve been kinda distant ever since… I wish I were closer with my siblings to be honest… even my step siblings

“My mother “ always put men and sex and power over me and instead saw me as competition and was jealous and wanted to destroy me and couldn’t love me.

My former stepmother put her children as number one priority and never compared herself to them etc etc
She worked a lot but still had quality time for them every week and made sure they had everything.
