I Am Not Very Close With My Relatives

I don't deal with my so called " uppity" family. The garbage that I went through under these people was hell. I left home at an early age I hated them so much. The last time I spoke to my "family" resulted in me losing it on them. I really let them know how I felt about the way they treated me growing up and all the dirt they did that they didn't think I knew about.
I cut my ties with my family after that day and it has been years since I've seen them. Believe me, I don't miss them.

If you read my Featured story you'll know that growing up and also later in life my family was frightening; my mother still scares me--and she's been dead for 13 years!

You did the right thing; sometimes cutting ties is the only thing to do. I wish I had been able to do that, but it just wasn't a possibility. My mother belonged to a very powerful group, she had powerful friends, and they would've found me anywhere.

@greenmountaingal I used to write my stories on this website called Experience Project. I wrote about my family there. Their ignorance was appalling!😡😡

@ladyinrage Hmmm...Sorry I guess I don't remember you--I, too, was on EP for a couple of years. It sounds like we had at least one situation in common.
