My family don't care

48% Normal
12 Comments

I'm nearly 18 and I come from quite a mixed up family,my mum was in a childrens home and never knew her parents and my dad was an accident, so my family are quite alot older than me. I feel like the only family i have are disowning me,My cousins get far more attention than me and when i went for a meal with them 2weeks ago i sat there for 3hours and they didnt even say hi,when i talked they said nothing. I feel so alone.My aunts and uncles have their own familys now and since im an only child I'm left out.i really started to hate them,i love my parents and they stick up for me but i cant stand my aunt and uncle at all.Is it normal to get this sort of seperation from family at a certain age? because i've never felt so alone.

    Some years ago, It seemed that I was alone too. But then I started to do truly friends and they started to be a part of my family. Get this situation as a lesson. It's a lesson for you to never let someone alone because you've already felt this way.

    My family is messed up too! .. My friends are more close to me than my own family.. and yeah I hate my cousins sometimes. It seems that it's only me who always wants to get closer to them.
    Just ignore who bothers you. And treat them as they treat you, you'll feel mean but even better.
    Just don't lose your good friends and you'll be just fine.

    My stepfamily treats me like this, so I just don't talk to them. They all laugh and know each other well but me I'm just some dude sitting there so who cares. Make your own family; there are millions of cool folks out there...

    i sometimes feel the same way, but then i then realise my family do love me even when it seems they don't. I find it normal.

    it's normal to not be able to stand your family I can rarely stand mine lol ;P. You should try telling them how you feel or maybe become friends with one cousin so that you'll be able to have some one to talk to at family get togethers. The best way to do this if your cousins don't talk to you as a group is to talk to them when your alone with one and be nice and try to find things you have in commmon :)

    your family does love you, and good luck

    Sometimes i cant stand my aunt and uncles either. Don't go to things that they are at. Why go if they're gonna be rude the entire time? theres no point.

    Move on, make a life and friends for yourself with people who respect you, learn from what you don't like about your family but try to stay connected and show them how not to be so shabby.

    Have you tried sayin to them that you feel? Maybe they're just oblivious to the fact they're hurtin you. If they still don't care, the best thing you can do is ignore them until they wise up. I know from personal experience it's painful to be ostracised by your family, but at the enda the day all you can really do is learn to move on from it. You've got your parents, who obviously love you, so at least you know you have their support : )
