I'm sorry, I wish you could find a pair of Ruby slippers and click your heels and get away from the struggle your going through. Try and find some light and strength in you family here.

thank you. I will. I want to disown my whole family. it's really sad. they are hurting me. badly. what is the point of being in association with them?

Exactly, what's the point? Being blood doesn't give them the right to draw blood. Release yourself by releasing them in love, the same love they can't show you, show them and yourself you can forgive and find yourself those who will give you the love and dignity you so rightfully deserve. Love

In an addition I just remembered, My own mother was a victim of 'Family' when my grandmother stated in her will that my mom and us could stay in the house until I graduated from high school (I was 15 at the time). It took them less than one week after my grandmothers death for them to gang up on her and force us out in two months time. this was a devastation to us but my mom fought through and in their latter life's, her kin tried to reconcile when their families fell apart. it was ironic justice but my mom handled it with grace and respect. Keep hope for tomorrow by forgiving in your heart today. Love

Take a week off. I blocked a few people on my phone for a week. I was finding dealing with family so triggering. I just couldn’t do it.

I think it did me some good. People who don’t suffer from depression just don’t get it.

I’m sorry you’re going through that, Anna. I do understand to some degree because of my situation. My wife is always telling me I’m wrong when we get into an argument and that she is not here to please me. I am seriously thinking of divorce, but that could cause more problems. My only sister and I rarely communicate and I have friends who don’t seem to be happy with me and won’t say why. It’s difficult to find someone to talk to when you know the friends you’re opening up to are only half listening. All I can say say is do as I sometimes do, try to find some good things to think about and find something you love to do to help you forget for a while. And as Kingsolomon said, just because they’re family doesn’t give them the right to hurt you. Love yourself. If you have to disown them, do what you have to do! Find people who will accept you as you and treat you as you should be treated ...with respect!
I wish you the best!

Anna,

I can relate to having a destructive family. My mother is a narcissist and alcoholic. I know how alone it feels. I wish I could be there to grab your hand and lead you to safety. And I’m so sorry that you are going through that. For what it is worth, we are here. And we hear you. Sending love your way. I hope this passes soon.

yes anna1212, it is scared.
