My family, all of them.

All have a screw loose... anyone else feel like there the black sheep because your family just are thick as shit when it comes to family and priority's ?

Just needed to write it down because I can't tell them because there all idiots 😂

You haven't actually really written in down though, we have no idea what you are on about!

@Nissemand I wish it was me I really do, I can change my self but not others... all I get from them is. Can you do this, or take me here! No one actually gives a shit about me and my DD, no one bothers to text me to see how I am or come round for a brew! My mum & sister even go out together don't bother inviting me then think it's nice to tell me about it, my dad hasn't actually been to see my DD since she was 2 months old so if I didn't go there now and again he wouldn't off seen her for 2 years. Guess I just didn't think this was the life I would have after having such a family involved upbringing....

Ahh, it's that kind of family dynamic. They've got used to you doing them favours and putting the work in. They won't respect or thank you for it and they'll slag you off if you stop. If you can, I'd distance myself and concentrate on people who are good friends and supportive.

There are plenty of threads like yours so youre not alone. You have to decide what you want to happen. Then you will be left with a choice of either going low/no contact, or challenging the existing dynamic. To do this you will have to respond diffferently and be prepared for a fall out. So if your mum and sister tell you about going out together you have to say something like I feel hurt and left out when you dont invite me. Why didnt you invite me? (we didnt think youd want to come) What makes you think that?

Id also get your thread moved to relationships.
