Is it normal to want to cut off contact with my family

Long story short, as you may have seen in my other posts I explain I have been put involuntarily last year in a psych ward for four months for being a paranoid schizophrenic but I have none of the symptoms and no thoughts etc. when in reality I had no home to go to after being evicted from my apartment and I was told I wouldn't make it on the streets. My family refused to let me live with them but they would let their sons and daughters live with them even though I have known and seen them my entire life and I even lived with them for a few years and afterwards too when I had to move because my room mates ditched me. They told me I could ask them for help any time I needed it and when it came time and I had 7 days to leave I had to give up my cat and I gained forty pounds due to boredom in the hospital. They never came down to advocate for my release either. In fact they thought it was a good thing. I have seen them since then but every time I see them I feel the same hatered towards them that I felt when I was left in the hospital. So do you think it's normal to want to cut off contact with them? Please note that I have a steady income of disability checks (I didn't have enough to find a place when I had been evicted) and it would have taken me the same amount of time to find a place just as long as they let my "aunt" stay in their spare bedroom

    My main concern here is the loss of the cat, is it normal?

    What are you concerned about the cat for? There's nothing anybody can do even though they could have helped me by letting me stay with them in their three extra bedrooms but they didn't so I had to leave the cat with a sheriff.

    I don't know either. I smoked a little weed before I left so I was talking faster than usual and I was planning on leaving the city but those are the only things I can think of. I was put in a small isolated room when I was arrested and taken to the hospital and I started banging on the door because I was confused as to why I was there and when I would be able to leave and that's when they held me down, tranquilized me, strapped me to a bed and the next morning carted me off to a psych ward. I'm a really normal guy I swear. I can't figure it out and I can't figure out why they would think I need help. That's what the psychiatrists and my "family" kept saying. That i needed the right help. For arguing with the landlord because I didn't want to hear the fire door slam all day and night

      When I smoke weed I too become somewhat of a paranoid schizophrenic...your point on the Cat gaining 40 pounds was interesting though!

    I do not see how they could have committed you to the mental hospital if you had no symptoms. I don't know where you live but here it is extremely hard to get committed and one of the requirements is having an immediate threat of violence towards yourself or others, or being sent by a judge as an alternative to jail.
