Is It Normal?
What do you think?
I feel like I hate my family
I feel at the moment I hate my family. My sister is the most selfish person in the world, she is very jealous and competitive and is always trying to compete against me even though im not in competition with anyone, she doesn't care about anyone. My parents never put themselves out to help or visit me because they say they dont like travelling and I have to visit them all the time but yet they go abroad three or four times a year with no problems. My inlaws well they are very competitive too, everything seems to be about money, snobery, what job people have, how much money, what house they live in. I have been feeling ill for a good while and it seems none of them care, they are all too busy being selfish going on holidays etc and yet they expect me to put myself out for them all. I have had enough im beginning to lose patience with them all, I feel I want to cut myself off and let them all live in their own selfish worlds, I just wanna be with my husband who im very happy with. does anyone feel like me or have any advice

How long have you been ill? When you're sick for a long time, it's very easy to get depressed, you might need to get some sort of help if you don't get better soon. That being said, your family are real downers if they don't come visit you when you're sick, especially for an extended period of time.

Hi, I find if I shut myself off from them all for a while I feel better, if it wasn't for my parents down there, I would find a house somewhere and move away where none of them could find me. I have been ill for a couple of years wth my stomach and I can honestly say none of them have been any help, people I dont know are more sympathetic than them. They are all self obsessed and another thing, if I offered them a free holiday up my place and spent money on them they would be up here within no time, not to see me, just for their holiday, thats the type of people they are.

ask yourself this: if you weren't related to the persons in your story and they were people at your job...would you bother with them? AT ALL?? i know it's harsh to think that way. But family uses GUILT to power over each other and the fact that they are tied to you by blood and experiences. it's ok to hate them. just because you're related to them, doesn't mean they are good people. Think about the most horrible awful people in the world. they have family too. NO ONE is obligated to like their family members. sounds harsh but think about it. see the situation for what it is. if they are a-holes. they are a-holes. all families have them. and if people wouldn't force themselves to deal with/embrace with a-holes. there would be less in the world doing a-hole-ish things.

Dump the family. All i have to say. Families come in 2 varieties: Those who care and nurture you asking only your kindness in return. Those that favour one child and one lifestyle and anyhting else gets tossed adide. There are of course spectrum extremes of both the above, and all extremes are bad. I recommend to tell them exactly your situation and dump them all for 5 years. Cut all contact, go on a vacation of your own.
