What do you do when you realise you can't stand your family!

[ileypie]

I'm talking about when you grow up and realise your parents are total nobs! My mother can't keep her gob shut I may as well take out an ad in the paper whenever I tell her anything, my dad is a compulsive liar, master manipulator and so self centred! Don't even want to get started on my brothers and sister!

I wonder how on earth I got to the age of 24 without realising any of the above, then boom 2013 arrives my eyes are opened and now the only people I consider family is my DP, DS and my DS due in February! I always loved how close I was to my family and felt safe knowing they were there no matter what....now I have no one to rely on if my DP leaves I have no one I can trust, no real friends. Urgh how did my life get to this .

Don't know what I'm expecting to get from posting just need a rant. This year sucks!

This year has been the year I have seen my family for what they are especially my sister.

I have no contact with my sister. Limited contact with my mum & dad. I have a youngef sister who I get on very well with but I don't feel I can confide in her as she has a lot going on.

I feel very isolated now as my family were very important to me but at the same time im glad not to have to tolerate their nonsense anymore.

It takes time but your so young...you are well on your way I was 39 before I realised what you have at 24. Good luck.
