    LastExit and everyone else on this board.

    Just checking in to say hello and I love you to everyone on here. Holidays can be rough and I just wanted everyone who reads this to know you have a community that cares about you. If you don't have anyone else to talk to at least we have this board.

    Be safe , be health , be strong. There is hope and light at the end of the tunnel no matter how long it may seem.

    Thanks Matts, I agree wholeheartedly with your post.  Be well.

  • Thanks Matts!
    Appreciate your thoughts.
    I hope you have a great day.
    It's morning here. So far so good.

  • My family is so fucked up.
    My sister and nieces did not even bother to wish me or my parents a merry Christmas.
    My parents help them out a lot and I have been a good uncle yet they don't care.
    My other sister is estranged from everyone in my family except my dad. Her husband came over this morning with nephew and niece which was nice. Except for the part where my brother in law asked me what I think of Trump and started talking about how great Trump is for the American economy. Kind of annoying he assumes I'm a right winger when I have never discussed my political leanings with him.
    I see my friends posting photos of their family Christmas gatherings on social media and they're all having fun but my family are fucked up. My parents are sad that my sister and nieces did not wish them a merry Christmas.

    I dont understand why her thoughts and opinions are so important to you.

    and before you say some varient of of well its supposed to be like.......

    live in the reality of the situation. Accept the fact she isnt how you wish her to be and dismiss her thoughts and beliefs. THEY ARE IRRELEVANT.

  • Because she thinks I don't have a mind of my own. She thinks others control my life. She blames my best friend for me choosing to be atheist. She looks at me like I'm possessed by satan and need an exorcism. My brother in law thinks I am right winger. Noone knows me in my family

    Is any of it true? then so fucking what, what they think. wrong is wrong.

    Frankly , its a good thing they dont know you. really, its easier then to cut them off. which you absolutely MUST do.

  • I can't wait.
    After I finish university I am moving out of my city and an hour away to be closer to those that matter to me.
    I thought I'd stay here because of my nieces but they don't give a fuck about me in their selfish little worlds.

    As for me, I'm okay. Just dealing with butthurt parents that cannot accept I am an atheist.

    You need to perfect the art of giving zero fucks what your parents think. Seriously. Zero fucks.

    It's hard when they have a frown on their faces all day long. They both look so angry and depressed. Mum isn't talking to me and dad won't speak to me in a nice manner. Very short and with attitude. I hate that it destroys them this much because I feel responsible.

    I'm sorry you're going through that right now. It sucks to know your parents are suffering, (even when you don't get along with them).

    Mind games.

    You may feel culpable (and maybe you are, for not personifying what they want), but they are responsible for how they treat you, what they say, and on.

    Consider this further proof that (I believe) it would benefit your state of mind to distance yourself from them, both literally and figuratively.  At least, until you're at a point where you really DON'T give any fucks.

  • Does it work?
    Kind of because I'm thinking about it a lot.
    It's so ridiculous asking me to worship who hasn't been proven to exist yet I'm the crazy person.

    „They’re my parents“ is not a good enough reason so scratch that right away 
  • I know I'm in the minority on this one, but "they're my parents" works for me. I didn't talk to my father for quite a few years, and it isn't such a black and white decision. It is complicated and painful as fuck.

    True, it’s not black and white! I rather meant that when people constantly treat you badly, them being your parents should not be an excuse for them. It shouldn’t mean you have to let them do it „just because they’re your parents“

  • I dont speak to my dad and im pleased. I didn't  want to feel shit  about  his behaviours  anymore. Sometimes you have to stop them the only  way is  distance.
