What do you do when you can't trust your own family?

so im 16 years old. and sometimes i think to myself why am i even here.. yes i know crazy talk! but still who would want to be around when your family doesn't even care about you? i know you think im probably going through a fase or something but no thats not the case at all my dad left my mom .. cheated on her.. he abused me and hurt me and wants nothing to do with me he blames me for the reason why he left .. my mom tells me thats not true at all but some times i thinks i really am why he left.. she told me to get out so many times then she will be bagging for me not to leave... i have no clue what to do my boyfriend is amazing and says he will do anything for me but what can you really do ? yes i was not a perfect teenager but really who is? awhile back i tried to kill myself.. but i just couldn't do it... i really hate me because i feel like my family does.. so why shouldn't i?

It feels so sad reading all the comments and how people have been let down by their family..i have been so lucky with all mine and we are all very close and there is nothing but trust between us....

Make sure they aren't in my life anymore, long story.

It's a terrible when you can't trust your own family.. I also have a few I stay away from.. Thank you for answering

Yeah, especially when you try to figure out were there any moments that weren't based on lies...18 years of them. No problem Foxylady.

I ignore those I cannot trust.

Good for you. I do the same thing.. Thank you for answering

I haven't been able to trust my family since I turned 13. I learned the hard way that the only person you can count on is yourself.

Good for you.. All of people in this world, it's a terrible thing not to be bale to trust someone in the family.. Thank you for answering

I distanced myself from them. After years, I saw my Mom the day before she died to tell her I forgive her for the rotten, low down stuff she pulled in her quest to dominate me; My Dad warmed up enough afterwards to actually have coffee and doughnuts in my office every day, but that's all that was left of our relationship as he believed any more it would upset my mother (he died seven years ago); My sister ran his estate into the ground on purpose so I received nothing from it. I have had nothing to do with her for years as I believe if family members love you, then they would never cheat you out of anything. She took all she could from our parents while I found it disgusting.

Is this what I truly wanted? No. I simply had to make the tough call that these people weren't good for my sanity and let them go. If I wanted to live my own life without drama, lies, manipulation and interference, then it was imperative the relationships had to be severed. I can tell you it isn't easy and I would have preferred a close-knit, loving family, but that was not to be.

What did this change get me? I have been married for nearly 27 years, have two outstanding sons, a nice house, my wife's family loves me, respect from the community, and a peace of mind I would have been denied otherwise. They say hindsight is 20-20 and in that perspective, I can tell you it was the right move - for me.

Awww I'm so sorry but, you did the right thing. Family or not no one deserves what your sister did to you.. Sorry about your parents Thank you for answering

Sometimes you have to make a tough call and I made mine. The best part is I have no regrets with the decisions I made. I'll let God sort it all out and I will be a happy guy wearing a smile, holding my head high and driving people crazy with my jokes, stories and antics. =:o)

Find strength in yourself and paddle your own canoe.
