How to cope with this calamity...If they truly are that awful, you can strive to be totally independent of them financially - which will give you great freedom in your life because you are not dependent on them to support you.
You can also promise yourself that you will never be like them.
There is a risk of over thinking situations, which can lead to depression or being inactive in your life. It might be good to express yourself in your hobbies or creativity, focusing on your goals & helping people.
Also having good friends & (later on) creating the kind of family life that you yearned to have, but didn't when you were younger.
But hopefully; even if it is in years to come, forgiveness and reconciliation can come about with your family. They say that blood is thicker than water after all.
yes there r those days... but u'll forget about it
I used to feel that way. Instead, I made myself different than what I couldn't stand about them.
I've also become very close with my husbands family, so to me, I have a wonderful family now.
Yes and I did at the age of 11 never went back a long a time ago don't miss them even after 40 years
No i don't !
I love my family loads xxxxxx
You just get on with your life and know you are better than your family. Blood is not thicker than water. Chin up .
I did run away, I had to - I was 12 the first time and then at 15 I left for good.
I ended up overdosing in hospital because of my family & even now I feel totally stressed because I can't really cope with people. I get upset because life feels too over whelming and not enough fun.
Yes, I did, just to find who I truly was without interference. Some people move to the other side of the earth for that reason. I am older now, and having developed my own identity, my parents don't feel overbearing anymore and I know who I am and who they are, and that's fine. I've stopped hating them, and realize now that they were good parents. Most kids leave and eventually come back. Parents are like an archetype, kids need to hate them to forge their own identities and lives... After 20 years, we come back, if the family was good to begin with... It helps to have kids to realize that being a parent is not always easy. Cope with this calamity by going deep into yourself and by asking yourself why you need to get away, to accept this as normal and to get away for a while if you can and if you are old enough.
Um...I grew up and moved out. Like the rest of us normal people did after we went through the unhappy teenager stage.
Yes, I got kicked out in the end. Please answer my question, I need help.... please

Hell yeah!!
I am 28 years old, and have felt like this for as long as i can remember.
The way that i deal with it, it by just realising that i CANT do this, but i CAN accept my family for who they are, after all no-one is perfect!
I often felt like running away from my family but then i thought why should i run? They are the weirdos. now i just have contact when i have to and dont turn to them for anything. Thing is, you cant choose your family your just kind of stuck with them. I try to see the best in them and keep their visits down to small doses and although they still stress me out im learning to live with it. Everyone has flaws at the end of the day. xxxxxxx
