Ok, well my family is basically 100%% dysfunctional. We fight ALL THE TIME, and can never seem to hold a good conversation.
I live with my grandparents and my dad is a dead-beat father who lives in the basement, and my mother passed away 2 years ago.
Is it normal that I hate my family?
Wow, you sound like me growing up. I lived with my mom as my dad left us early on (think I was about 5). She drank a lot and I did not have any grandparents to go to. I spent a lot of time with my friends (over at their house). Once when I was older I walked in on my mom and my friend kissing. I hated both of them!! It really hurt to be betrayed by family and friends.. Long story short, I just did the best I could knowing one day I'd be on my own and I planned on how I'd make my life better. I couldnt afford college so I went to community college for two years and worked until I got a student load and finished my last two years at a decent college. All this to say "hang in there - i know it sucks - spend your time making plans - dont ever think they can't happen, because that is bull! You can do whatever you want if you dont get discouraged by anyone. Dont let anyone tell you what to do. Just plan, and do it.
Totally normal someone once told me just because they are your family doesn't mean you have to like them or even love them, that family members are more likely to be negative towards you rather than a stranger. I also kind of hate my family by the way!
Normal both my grandpas are dead one of my grandmas is nice but she got remarried to an asshole who hates her kids and her grand kids and my other grand my is a selfcentered,fat,diabedic,pig
its perfectly normal my dad was an abuser, my mum always moans at me, my lil sister tries to show me up in front of my mates and my cat shits in my bedroom (hes an honourary member)so yes its totally normal in certain situations
Normal to not like them but don't let it get too far because that could lead to some bad things.
Heh.
Family.
It's frustrating how you have to deal with what you get if a couple of bad parents are thrust upon you. Or siblings you want to kill. Or relatives you can't stand.
Family is about luck, I guess.
So if you have rotten luck, the word that describes family is torture.
Make them your inspiration.
Just think, "I'll never become like my family. Once I'm successful, I'll never have to see them again." Or if you think your family is salvageable, then go ahead and try to patch things up.
Good advice - even though you rely on them for now, don't let your family's troubles drag you down. Get on with school, friends and creating a happier life for yourself.
dats so totally normal because i hate my family sumtimes even tho they might not do anything that bad 2 me......like me n my mom cant even hav a conversation without her bringing up me havin a bad grade in skool....n me n my family dnt always connect on certain things such as wat time am i soupose 2 b home or y i always hav 2 help my lil bro wit his hw....but im still thankful 4 them
I suggest you stay away from women, alcohol, drugs, etc., till you get a college degree. And buy a good pair of ear plugs.
It is unfortunate, but it is not normal. There was some yelling and arguing in my family, but the older I get the more aware I am of how much my parents did for their children. What is more, they made it look a lot easier than I now know it was.
Girl try to get along go out of your way to be nice. It may help in the end!
was hoping ''''''''''''''''''''''''emilyf would respond!. guess she is as addicted as some of us
It happens. It is sad but yeah it happens. Thereare a lot of things that people think are wrong but who knows you may make up with them over time.
I know hated my father but was glad we made up before he died.
I mean look at it this way there are people that may nt like your sexual orientation...but you may change that too!!!
Yeah, it's normal to hate your family even though you may care about them. Has your family always been this way?

100%% normal. I use to hate my family, now I'm in the middle where I don't like them, but I don't hate them.
like nearly said you can pick ur friends but you cant pick your family.
i think u have 2 chooses hear one: carry on as you are fighting and stuff,
OR
two: have a think about what bugs you about them think how to avoid it and carry on fighting. =)
yes it is normal 2 hate your family even like what u said i would hate them too and move out.
I don't blame you for how you feel,it's a shame that your father is such a piece of shit, especially after losing your mother when your still young.
I totally agree with Nearly you need to concentrate on getting an education and don't let your dysfunctional family bring you down.
It sounds to me like your dad needs some professional help and a job.
Perfectly normal given your oration of them! Make the most of what you have, stick into your education and DONT make their mistakes. THEN, and only then, you can say you did it DISPITE your family. Remember, you can pick your friends but your family are foisted upon you!
