Rant about family

I'm pissed off, but it seems very childish like & I need to get it out of my head so am going to rant a little here..

I was ill in Nov with a nasty bug that lasted 2wks, my Dad came round & saw my house wasnt all that tidy and said "You lazy cow" gave me a nasty look and left. My sister done the same, so I ignored them both until I was better...FFS it was just toys and some dishes untouched, I'm a single Mum to a 2yo (well he's 2 tomorrow) and a 3yo. I have no help from anyone and get critised all the fucking time for everything...
Anyway, about 3wks after my bug had cleared my Sister got it & apologised as she was struggling to care for her 2 DD's with it and she has a dp!
I was wrecked tired, couldnt eat, keep anything down for 4-5 days, I was weak, needed some help & they gave me more shit

Lots more has happened since but today annoyed me again, I was at my Sisters and my Dad came up with some paperwork he didnt understand, Sis had a look, chatted etc, Dad put paper on table, sis's friend was there and picked it up to have a nosey...I had a look shortly after and got "Don't be nosey" in a pissed off voice from both my Dad & Sister. I left asap after as I am just about fed up of it..

I was in France for 5yrs in a dv relationship, during that time (even before they even knew about the dv) they used to write/ring beg me to come back to the UK cos they missed me etc etc, I wanted to get away from them ..at the time sis was taking drugs heavily & dad an alcoholic and it was just a way to escape back then..I came back a couple of times before leaving dp for good and staying in the UK, I don't see what all the fuss was about, I am here now & I get critised regulary off them, Dad no longer is an alcoholic and sis has a family & is off the drugs, but she has a 4yo dd who hates me, I've done nothing wrong but even if I say one word she sulks/cries and I feel bad..?!

AHH, sorry had to get that out..
feeling angry today, DS is 2 tomorrow I've tons to do ..

I've got a long term depression problem/v v difficult past also & my Dad and sis & nieces are my only family but right now I want to be out of the UK and away from this shit again..

Hi Claire, sorry to hear you're having a bad time.I don't really have any advice for you, but wanted you to know someone is listening.

Is it possible for you to talk to your dad and sister about how you feel and the way they speak to you? I'm sure your niece doesn't hate you, could it be that she just doesn't know you very well?

I hope you're feeling better today. Happy birthday to your ds
