Do you have a good relationship with your parents?

I haven't spoke to my Dad in almost a year and my mother and I have a strained relationship always have. Not close with my sister or brother he's quite a bit younger than me 18 years to be exact. I feel so much like a loser because I have no close family but my son. I am just tired of being the one who always has to bend over backwards to have any sort of a relationship with them. I just want to be myself and I am too old to keep trying to please those who are never satisfied

How about making some new friends? It's not always about the family then
@val70 true

I do with one of them. It is okay to cut off toxic people, even if they are family ❤️

Luckily I did. As much as possible.

Of course I'd give ANYTHING to have them back 🤗

I can tell you are in some pain.

I seriously wish you only the best🥰

It sucks. But it sucks worse if you let them get away ☹️

Sometimes were really close, other times we are not. The year's communication is up and down depending on our schedules and work loads

Nope. Pretty close to cutting them off completely.

It changes over time. I recently got reacquainted with my brother which is a nice thing.
They moved back in with us just before lockdown and havent left. I doubt they will. I love them dearly. I've learned to understand my mum's outbursts and how it's a cultural/generational thing and can ignore it now.
