I’m going another Thanksgiving without contact from my parents. They’ve lied to me and tried to cause a rift between me and my partner. My dad has sza too. He’s always paranoid that my mom is cheating on him even going so far as to accuse her of sleeping with her nephew.
Anyway he called me once and tried to convince me Kay was cheating. For a minute he had me thinking but she isn’t I know she isn’t but it’s easy to cut one family out of our lives now we just need to work on the other side.
I’m hoping once we move away we can build towards healthy relationships with our families again
Sorry to hear about your family. Sometimes families suck. My extended family on my mother’s side i have absolutely nothing to do with. They are manipulative and like to play little games with each other. Also, they’ve never made any effort to talk to me so i guess i don’t exist to them anyway.
I hope you are able to move away and start building a more positive relationship with everyone.
Yea I’ve also felt these recent years that I need to be more in touch with my family side. Although they don’t understand my condition like my friends do which is why I feel like I need to make more contact with peers and groups that understand me.
Yeah @cbbrown I think a great option for you right now before you move out eventually is finding a peer group or case worker or something. Like I’m going to a clubhouse right now and they would be a great support for holidays. And they will advocate for you if you need to. And they will teach you better ways to budget money to help you move out eventually if need be as well… do they have such a thing in your area because maybe it’d be a great thing if you can get involved with something like it.
