I have limited to contact with my family..everyone suffers from form of disorder..one sibling is a prescription pill addict and has been all life the other is a alcoholic ..one has anger issues and works 24/7...me i was told yesterday being the youngest i hide from family problems.

i do..i know i also know i can hardly any problems any more i can function like a normal human..but inside dont want to deal with anything..anything from a broken toilet handle to a being short on money at the end of the month..i also see myself now as being not a nice person to the people that care about me..

im going to try and be better today

Hello Igor, yes, families are a mixed blessing, aren't they? I have only one sibling, and since my Mam passed away, I haven't spoken to her. I find her selfish, and intolerant. Also, she makes snide comments about my Mental health issues. Sometimes it's just easier, to live without these people. Our own problems are more than enough to be dealing, with. I don't think your a bad person, just one with problems. 😊✌️🌻

Yes, some people do that and until recently I was always there for mine. Then it became too much. At my age I only deal with, what I can deal with. Don't be sorry for 'spilling' yourself, Igor. We all do, sometimes. 😊✌️🌻

Sometimes family can be TOO freakin much..especially for us n what WE r going through.

For me...my family put the "D" in dysfunctional...and that's why I have no contact with them.Im trying to help MYSELF...they DONT get it or what Im going through or have gone through...honestly Im much better off.Dont be hard on urself..ur doin the best u can RIGHT now. Here if ya need to chat :)
