My Family

[xXoblivionXx]

I don't think I can take them much longer. I know they are my family and they supposedly "care" about me but I can't stand them. They make fun of me all the time. They call me anorexic because I don't eat much and mock me for always being sad. I can't wait until I finnish high school and leave for college. But they don't want me to leave IL for college and on top of that they want me to commute. In my culture one doesn't leave their family until they are married. I can't wait that long :eek: I just want to leave everything and start a new life, get an apartment, a job, and maybe meet someone. I just need to get away.

Maybe you should just say. "Hey I find that offensive" (unless you are dealing wit immature siblings) or speak to your parents maybe?

Anyway, when it comes to finding a college then, just choose one far enough away it is inconvenient/costly to commute on a daily basis but not too far that you never get to go back home to see your seemingly annoying family. I think the majority of us would like to move out. Although I can only speak for myself.
But there is always time to change your mind.

Hope I've helped :)

I hear ya. My family is the exact same way. They even make fun of me for cutting myself. It is so messed up on so many levels. I agree with Gandalf. You just have to be straight up about it and say 'That's freaking rude, bro.' I hope it will work with your parents. Mine kinda chuckled and stopped for awhile, but it didn't last. I think you should tell someone you somewhat trust about the matter.... A counselor maybe. They'll probably listen more than your family will. Hang in there, though. You're strong, you can get through this.

I dislike my family too so I spend most of my time in my bedroom with the door locked. I just ignore them whenever I'm near them. It's the best you can do until you can move out.

They trigger me so much. Sometimes after being with them for a while I have to leave and cut just to keep myself together. I can't do this anymore.

If you ever want to talk to someone when you're mad/sad/upset/whatever after being with them, I am never busy. I think I have my email on my profile. If not, send me a pm. I know family can really get on your nerves sometimes. Or any other situation you're in that you can't stand and feel like cutting. Like I said in my first post though, just try your best to stay away from them. You can try talking to them about it, but if that doesn't work, unfortunately there's not much else you can do. I'm sorry.
