Is it normal that i hate my family?

My sister is home for the holidays and my parents are going crazy stressing themselves out to please her and make sure that everything is perfect. My sister is very critical but is extremely sensitive. She makes demands and my parents jump to make her happy. Because they cant make any negative remakes to her because she will over react, they (my sister included) vent all their frustrations and anger at me. Every conversation i have with my parents is short and filled with sarcastic remarks. They speak to me like I am wasting their time and they just want me to leave. They go out to her favorite restaurants and forget to invite me, they ignore my attempts to be helpful and nice. I did all the Christmas baking this year and did not even receive a thank you. It is normal that i hate my family.

    I don't like my family. I don't like who I am around them. Angry, suspicious, and not able to express myself. This has been going on for over 20 years!

    I've lost a quarter of my life trying to be with them. I accepted all the abuse and ignored it. My father is a ridiculous man. He has a great career, but he doesn't know how to raise kids. I can count maybe 3 or 4 times. If I try. I can easily recall all the times he's yelled or hit me easily. I can't recall a day when he's talked to me like a person he likes, much less loves.

    I don't think I can continue to deal with this and move towards reconciliation. My mother is equally insane: she's overanxious and controlling. She thinks my life is hers to run. She's been making belittling comments about my appearance, subtly attacking my self-confidence. For years I thought why can't I stand her? It's because she's been manipulative and abusive my entire life. I'm done with her. She's got her hooks into my brother. He's got his hooks into me -- or did, I should say. No more.

    I want a life free of this abusive cycle. We're not doing each other any favors by trying to stay with each other. Fuck. I'm just done.

    Feel free to ask me questions about my current situation or whatever it may take for a more accurate judgment on your behalf

    Okay I am 24 years old, I ended up getting out of a relationship i was in for 6 years. So losing a lot in the separation i had to move back to my Grandparents house in another state. So the same day i moved in My aunt, uncle and 2 cousins moved in as well because they had lost their home. SO now its me and 6 other people living in a 3 bedroom home. Here is why i hate my family though

    Grandmother:
    Says i am most likely to kill myself
    Talks badly about me to others and calls me names

    Grandfather:Hes okay for the most part, just old and grumpy but blames me for things his daughter(my aunt) does

    Aunt:
    Constantly drinking and feigning for drugs
    as well as you cant say nothing to her son who is 18 and steals my clothes and is the most selfish person i have ever met in my life

    Cousin:
    He still my clothes, selfish, doesn't shower at all or wear deodorant. Always asks for cigarettes and only worried about doing drugs all the time.

    other aunt:
    Fakest person i have ever met
    Talks about everyone
    Is always right and talks about me and yells at me

    I could go on for days with alot more members. What gets me though is that i help when and where i can. I am the only one who helps my grandparents such as house work and yard work. No one helps. Whats really crappy is how ungrateful my grandparents are. I help them without them even having to ask. I have been unemployed for a month but am starting a new job on Wednesday.

    They still my clothes, make fun of me, walk all over me , accuse me of stuff i haven't done.

    in conclusion i hate my family because they are inconsiderate, rude, disrespectful, and JUST MAKE ME SO FREAKING MAD.
    they are a bunch of losers that are assured of their own intelligence when more than half don't even have a GED.

    Am i in the wrong?

    Yeah. It's normal. It's not fair at all. What if you try confronting them about it? Must be hard but worth it.

    I hate some of my relatives too. It is normal to hate or even want to kill your relatives occasionally but do not kill anyone. Hatred is a healthy part of life when you are wronged. Talk to tour family if that does not work exclude them from your life.

    I wouldn't blame you for it, It'd make me very angry as well.

    Yes. As far as I am concerned. I have the same problem. I was always there to help and do things, but when my brother came home it was, and still is, all about him. It drives me crazy!

    • Me too. As I am beating a dead horse, my mom is a horrible Junkie but my extended family is well to do and aways looked down upon my sister and I for being a child of my moms. It was like they judged us for stuff that wasn't even our fault.

      This became odvious during the "family" Christmas time where the whole family got together and the favoritism was purely odvious. My richer cousin stole money from Uncle B and I was blamed although I never done it. Uncle A started talking about his new gifts to his kids to my sister and I and all I could talk about is the 4 different ways to make Mac and Cheeze and how I doubt I would have a good Christmas.

      I hated seeing gaming systems being passed out and realise that my presents were typical "Bargain Bin" crap that I rarely would ever use.

      Sad thing is that I still do not like my family and truly value my new inlaws and I am approching 30 years old. My last Christmas "get together" with my "family" was over 10 years ago. I still don't talk to them and when I though I was going to die in the hospital when I had Vertigo due to MS, I was perfectly okay never talking to them again and dying peacefully with that knowledge.

      Sad isn't it. Not trying to be a story topper, this story kind of needed this though.
