I Feel Alone
Does anyone's else family make them feel alone? I could never confide in them and don't trust them. I feel so isolated from them and dread family gatherings. I wish I didn't feel so alone in that way.

Yes, always has / did. I tried to avoid going to family gatherings on any plausible excuse - when I was working shiftwork, it was ideal - 'no, sorry, can't make christmas dinner, I'm working that day'. Eventually moved to a different hemisphere, which is kind of a decisive barrier to family meetups

It's sad but avoid most of my family altogether. I was decided to only say nice stuff. Unfortunately my step father pointed out I was the only person who had been nice all day a few years ago. They all targeted me to the point where my sisters then bf gave me an expensive tumble drier because he felt sorry for me after one Christmas dinner where I just ignored their crap. So avoid them.
It's sad but it's better.
