It's not my family anymore


Question Posted Tuesday August 16 2011, 2:40 pm

I seriously don't think I have a family anymore. I mean, I live with both my biological parents and my sister. My half-brother moved out a long time ago and hardly visits. Most of my mom's side of the family is dead or dying. My dad's side of the family hates us because they hate him. I've been narrowed down to just the people in my house, unfortunately, it just doesn't seem like we're a family. Just a bunch of people who live together because we have no choice. My dad goes off on his own and stays out late, probably dates other women and no one really cares. My mom just works, pays the bills, then goes to bed. My sister is off in her own little world. And it's pretty much the same with me. I can't have a conversation with anyone of them because we end up arguing and then stop talking to each other until we forget our argument. It doesn't feel or look like the families I've seen at the mall or read about in books, or anything. I tried to convince my mom that maybe we should try eating dinner together, but the one time we did, my mom and dad started arguing over nothing. We just can't be together in the same room or we'll drive each other crazy. I'm pretty sure a therapist won't work because my dad refuses to see one (He doesn't speak English and he suffers from dysthemia, which he passed onto my sister) I'm thinking I should probably move out as soon as possible because there's no point in staying here anymore. I'm a seventeen-year-old female.

Honestly, Your family doesn't seem like a family like you said. My best friend went through with what your going through now, but what she did to get through it was to try to accompany herself with other people and it worked, I told her that she shouldn't forget her family completely, like she should talk to her mom whenever she has the time, and you should do the same, talk to your family members and if they get on you nerves, then go to to the people that you want to spend your time with. :) Oh, and you should wait until your 18 or older just because you are going to be consider as a adult :) Then when your 17. Hope this helped :)
