Wrong piece trying to fit

Does anyone else have the feeling that you don’t belong in your own family?

[Katzenjammer82]

Yes. At times I feel as if I do not belong anywhere

I did for the longest time. They didn’t understand me. I came to realize that no one will ever understand my life and struggle which is fine. After getting to know some of my family members I realized they were just as messed up as me. Take care of you.

For sure, the one thing about family is we don’t get a choice, that’s what’s so good about friends, I hope to meet more new good friends since I’m doing what I always wanted to this last year because I don’t have a very big or close family or many friends that I can really call friends.

Sometimes I think Family members are the harshest to get sympathy or understanding from. They would be more readily able to accept this condition if it was a stranger, but since we share the same blood, it seems like our illness is a reflection of the Family’s weakness. Like our struggles are an affront to their well being. That we should be swept under the rug. A psychological denial of our weakness which might infringe on their own image.
