Is it normal that i dont want to be around my parents?

For the past few months i have been trying to avoid my parents. We have been fighting more and the things they say are very hurtful and are starting to get to me. Am i wrong for feeling this way its like were losing the closeness we use to have and everyday im starting to care less and less. Its getting to the point where i dont feel like i can be myself around them anymore, i dont even want to hug them or anything. I havent huged them in months.

    It's normal and it happens sometimes. Don't blame yourself. I have a dysfunctional family and over the years I've grown to dislike them more and more. One side I try to avoid at all costs and the other I barely know.... I don't like express emotions with them and I don't trust them especially with my thoughts and feelings. I'm not affectionate with them, not even my mother. I'll hug her occasionally, but it's rare. You're growing up and want more independence and you argue allot. It's normal. Find your space and people you can get along with and trust more.

    Good Luck!

    Normal.
    It is part of a natural breaking away stage and honestly, it's a little abnormal for teenagers to get along with their parents perfectly.

    I don't know how old you are but unless you're really young it's completely normal. It's only natural that we'd want to get away from those who hurt us.

    Welcome to planet Earth, kid.

    It wouldn't be normal if you DID want to be around your parents.
