I feel like: i don't belong to my family.

When I was in middle school, I hated being around my family. I felt like I didn't fit in. It was really difficult to be myself in that family without someone judging me.
Whenever we had dinner I felt like I was the weird kid sitting with the popular kids. I felt (and still do) so uncomfortable . And I had an older sister who was just cruel! She picked on my weight and my acne growing up. She made me felt so disgusted with myself. I remembered I got in fight with her because I was fed up with her. My mom didn't do anything to defend me. All she said was just to ignore her. How can you ignore someone whose calling you name a few feet away from you? The next day she tried being nice to me so she could borrow money from me. Usually I forgive and forget but that day I put my foot down and told her no. She treated me like shit. She made ugly faces and rude comments whenever I was around. She was like my own Regina Gorge.

Finally she moved away but that didn't help. I was still felt uncomfortable with my family. Then I got a scholarship in UTB with a dorm included (Thank God) and moved away. I haven't seen my family in 3 months and I'm planning to keep it that way.

    I know how you feel. Your sister is just like mine always critisizing me and then when she wants something, she acts really nice.
    Worse part is that her and my brother are always ganging up against me, so I always feel left out.

    I know the feeling, i absolutely hated my family. i am nothing like them at all and they always say im too skinny and whatever (thats msotly because im vegetarian and they keep making meat and seafood, which i am allergic to, so i just eat bread and jelly). and they are all just sooo weird and different from me.

    Your sister was just being a sibling who liked to pick fights(normal). Your mom tried to handle the situation the best she could by not laying down punishment and further increasing the drama. In the end I think everyone's family is weird somehow and they feel out of place in some way.(I do anyways)

    I would visit them though. You don't want to be distant. That won't make anything better. If its awkward or something happens then make something up and leave ASAP if you have to.

    No one in middle school feels like they fit in anywhere
