Dysfunctional family

[Live4it20]

I feel like an outcast of my family , pretty much have since I was old enough to know better. I just feel awkward around them because they are so different I guess you can say. I feel like they don't really care about me much . I barely see my mom and brother and they live in the same city, and we don't talk much. My dad lives an hour away and i see him once a year , he tells me it's because "he doesn't want to see me like this or where im currently living" 😔😑 My relationship with my mom has gotten better but it's all about her and so it's hard to have support or talk to her. I feel kind of bad about it sometimes because I wish my family was normal or had a normal childhood. They just judge me for everything I seem to so and my dad keeps pushing the Bible on me and idk I guess they kinda care but I feel like a mistake at times because I didn't ask for this. It's hard when your own family doesn't seem to understand why you have anxiety or are depressed.

It is hard when your own family don't seem to understand when you have anxiety or are depressed. Especially your parents. After all, they should be role models, set an example, showing love and acceptance.

It doesn't make any sense that he won't visit often because he doesn't like seeing you like this or where you are living. If he is unhappy to see you unwell, surely that's more reason to visit often. To help, or just to 'be there ' for you , for moral support.

Sorry if you are being judged by your family, that's not the way things should be.

You are not a mistake.

You are Precious and Beautiful -

and that's the truth.

Sorry to say there are a lot of dysfunctional family's in the world. I grew up in one. Through therapy I learnt to like, love and accept myself. Judgments are stupid, Jesus said "Judge not less thee be judged". These people are ignorant and can be toxic until we learn to shut them out. Be true to yourself, know you are special and a worthwhile human being. I grew up in a critical and judgmental environment, which only served to hold me back, now I live in the grey with only a little black and white, I am happy and enjoy each day. I send you love, strength, peace, happyness and big hugs.....Sprinkle 1....../

Hi. I’m Andy. Was so very sorry to read your story. I think that we are all a product of our childhoods, and it really shows. I’m sure that there are many of us here who had a problematic childhood. And we pay the price daily. I’d like to say that nobody should be pushing anything on to you. You mentioned the bible. If that is not your thing then just say firmly and politely that religion is a very personal thing. And that it is your choice whether you partake or not. Feeling like an out cast within a family who should be there for you no matter what is hard. That’s probably why many people see there friends as more of a family. We choose our friends, family we can’t choose. I hope things change within your family, I do, but if not we’ll sometimes it’s just better to get on with our own lives. Do things that give us any kind of joy. Anything to distract. I hope all goes well and wish you everything good in this world 👍Andy.

I am really sorry! You are a valuable human being no matter who your family is. Your family members may have some issues and they may not know it, but know that you are not a mistake. Our feelings may makes us feel really bad but our feelings are not always based on the truth. I would recommend meeting with a professional for support and guidance and help. Maybe you already have a therapist. If you don't, it can be hard to deal with depression and anxiety. I hope you take care of yourself. You are very valuable and important. Dysfunctional families are common and we have to help ourselves by protecting ourselves from them. Know that no matter who your family is, you are valuable and special and important. Take care of yourself.
