I'm in this situation at the moment. Basically, I'm going away to Uni on the 13th (can't wait lol), and the family want me to come home for Christmas despite all that's happened: mother not giving me any privacy by rooting through my things all the time, then * getting drunk, outing me when I was 15 and getting abusive about it, bitching about me to my nan then sucking up to me when she wants me to do something for her, lying about my nan not actually being my nan, and just never appreciating the fact that I help keep the house tidy unlike her perfect son who does nothing. And who she'll praise, even though he is a complete racist and has called her all the names under the sun before. The last straw came today when my brother kept calling me a dyke. Clearly she has told him. I'd rather be alone at Christmas than put up with her and my brother's constant abuse.   Yet we all know that she'll bitch to my 'nan' about me being selfish. Ahh! I hate them all. * She gets drunk all the time.

Replies Miss Prophetess Posted at 8:00 pm on Sep. 6, 2008 Not me personally. But if your family does something hurtful, then it's justified to pull away from them. That saying doesn't mean family should be forgiven for everything; my uncle's an adulterer and we've severed ties with him. When they say "blood is thicker than water", they mean that your family is more likely to stick by you than anyone else...so long as your family is a supportive one, that is.

If it bothers yuo don't go home for X-mas. Ignore them. Natsy Posted at 1:38 pm on Sep. 5, 2008 yes... you cannot believe what my mother said to me once... i totally flipped and screwed at her, something i never do ... we didn't speak for like a week and things have never been the same since... not bad but still not the same xx Chava Posted at 1:38 pm on Sep. 5, 2008 Yeah. My family outed me at 13 then gave me a couple broke down cars as if to say "Don't say we never do anything for you" when they bought my 16 year old sister a brand new car and made sure she had everything she needed for it. I hate my family. All 6 previous replies displayed.
