I dissolved my relationship with my adoptive family and I don't have any regrets.
LOL

For 44 yrs and I'm doin' just fine :D

Yes and very well as long as I go to therapy every month.

@caccoon So you are fine with being estranged ? For me it’s a lonely and depressing life. I struggle badly with mental illness as well as previous drug and alcohol issues. I go to therapy as well. Lately I’ve been in a bad slump. Feeling like I’m worthless and inadequate as a person. Feeling like there isn’t much for me to live for. I know it sounds bad. I’m not looking for pity just kinda venting hopeful that I’m not alone in my struggles

@LifeVoice101 sorry to hear that. You're definitely not alone in your struggles. I am sure you will find your way if you listen to yourself

Yes I am. I only have two cousins that will even talk to me. For everyone else. 🤷‍♂ It's their loss. I am a good person.

@Musicman usually when you stop tolerating the bad behavior people disappear

I'm not....my family is close. I have 7 siblings and have had some contact with all of them in the past week (as well as some of the nieces/nephews and their children).

I don't come from a happy family. My parents are long gone. I don't know if my brother and sister are still alive. Really don't care.

The one I got along with has passed. The one that gave me most of my mental hang ups I haven’t spoken to in a couple decades for my own mental well being. The one that lied to get me in trouble with the mentally damaging one is now on her way to prison. And the only other immediate family is severely mentally handicapped and only calls me every few months on average, and never answers if I call her.

It is whatever the hell that is 🤷‍♂

I keep it within. Nobody cares how I feel

@FreestyleArt I care brother.
FreestyleArt · 36-40, M
@Lostpoet I love you brother. I just lost hope of humanity now days. I'm sure it's not wake up call for most because 5hey will continue to sleep with their own consciousness. That's the pethatic nature anyways.

i don't think estranged is the right word but i'm definitely not close to anyone. it's only an issue during the holidays or big events when i don't really want to go because it's just uncomfortable to me but i feel obligated to

@Frostcloud I’m estranged from all of my family. It’s been this way for me for a long time

I don't know if it's really in enstrangment, but I have a hard time dealing with my siblings, sometimes.
Most of them are much older than I am but way more immature.
They also seem to have favorites -I'm not one of them
No but I have chosen to have minimal contact with them
Yeah, I just let it be what it is.

I won’t reach out, they were in the wrong and blamed me for it, that’s on them.


It’s freeing to be honest. 🦋✨
