Fired My Biological Family

Has anyone else ever done this? I have reach a point where I just will not tolerate abuse anymore. Life is too short. I feel I continue to make efforts to communicate and have authentic and honest relationships with my 'family of origin' and it never, never works. All that happens is lots of finger pointing, judging and excuses, excuses, excuses. Borrrrring! I am over it. I let them know that I am DONE. Wished them a good life, but it will be one without me. They are now dead for me. Just the last of the unhealthy and distructive forces in my life..gone. I pray that when I reach a sad and sentimental place about missing a fantasy family that I don't make a mistake and dial pain by mistake. I want to know if anyone else has had this experience.

I have to a point. There are members of my family that I talk to and members that I dont. I talk to my dad who unfortunately is still with my mother so unless he rings me I dont talk to him...Once in a very ong while I will answer the phone and its my mum. the first words from her mouth are always so your still alive then. I've come too far to let her pull me down so I always say obviously I answered the phone and then hang up...
I love my sister and one of my brothers the youngest one I have nothing to do with his opinion is that my suicide attempts were just a way to hurt mum and try to get back at her.

I love all of you! I think it takes courage to make healthy choices. To make a choice to stop people who are abusive from continuing their abuse. It is the same as saying, its ok,lets stay in each others lives so we can abuse each other. No good for any of us. Thanks for the support. When I have any momemnts of weakness and think about contacting them I hereby promise to put it on the site and get your feedback..hopefully telling me not to go there.

    I have been here before, a long long time ago and now I am back.Forgive me for not just saying what I want to say,even under a triple dose of antidepressants it is still raw and seeping and I am hesitant at revealing it as at least under the bandages around my heart I don,t have to look at how raw and wounded.My child was cleaved from my heart by his own actions. my child of ten,turning eleven...
