Isn't family for supporting its members?? Then what to do when the one who should support you hurts you by his words and actions??

They say that we hurt those we love. It's true that the closer you are to someone, the more they can hurt you.It's important to find strength within yourself so that you're not totally dependent on others for peace of mind.

All the best.

It's very difficult. I fell out with a cousin nearly a year ago and it still hurts. Usually these feelings pass and having someone to talk to about how you're feeling can really help.

I don't feel like I have someone. I feel lonely and no one cares about me or my feelings. I can't open up to anyone...

There are many helplines out there who will listen to you and not make any judgements. In the UK the Samaritans are very good.
