How does a person deal with family who is not good for them?

There’s a lot of betraying going on…like, do you cut off a sister as you would someone you thought were a friend? How do you know what is ok to tell family and what is not ok? How can you be yourself when you really need your family because you are a full time student? I mean, you are legal, but are unable to find a job at the moment, but being with family is not safe or the best thing?

How do you do it?

Answer #1

Well, I can relate to what you’re asking in this question since I’m cut off from my own family. I know that I need them but, I’ve had problems with them growing up. now that I’m a college student, my family doesn’t support me in anyway. The reason why I’m not seeing my family because I had to put a PPO against my father for doing allot of Fondling, touching, ECT. when I was a child, things were alright since I was adopted from China. I don’t speak the language anymore so, I’m an American Citizen. I tried telling certain members of my family my problems but, you don’t get anywhere with them. here are some things not to tell family: Don’t tell personal feelings, keep some personal things like you’re life a secret, don’t tell them you’re moving out, that’s my opinion, or, don’t tell them you’re other secrets. Things to tell family are, let them know that you received a good grade in school, try to talk to them about family issues, tell them you’re going to school, tell them you’re going to get a full time job, things like that. Those are things that I would try to tell mine but, I’m sure they won’t listen. I tried to be myself when I lived with my parents but, that never seemed to work since I was physically, and verbally abused. I now live on my own and, proud of it. When I was 17, I wanted to comitt suicide since my parents and one of my sisters didn’t make me feel welcome. Now, that I moved out from that terrible roof, I have people that embrace me like family and, that’s my church. I love my church since, now, that I moved out, I can be myself. I won’t forgive my family for the things they’ve done, but, I’ll learn. I thought they were my friends but, well, that never happened.

Answer #4

If you have to live with your family limited your interaction with them.When you need someone to talk to talk to a friend.Telling your family everything when you know they can’t be trusted is an easily pattern to fall in after all they are your family.If you trust you family enough that they will be reletively be there for you and will not throw you out on the street stay with them.You can cut you family off once you move out try to move as far as you can away from them .start a new life.Your family is just like everyone is but they happen to have a inborn title. Anything you do try not to let them know about it.Don’t share you secrets.
