Re: Disowning your family

[tabaqui]

Why does anyone need to keep track of them? Let them take care of themselves (unless they're underage or have a mental disability and need help).

Re: Disowning your family

[making_excuses]

I think it is one of those, if you don't live it you will never understand it situations, but:

My mother is seriously mentally ill, so is my aunt and two of my uncles, I have cousins who need my support as they aren't getting it from their parents and I have a little sister who only has me left of her biological family... I can't cut them off, I will never cut them off, I will just move as far away as humanly possible.

But really it mostly consists of talking on the phone with them* (mostly my mother) and trying to nudge them into getting whatever help they need, making sure none of them have drunk themselves to death (or taken an overdose), whom is in prison so I know they are relatively safe and who is arguing with who at any given moment so I know what I can and can't say.

*As the moving as far away as humanly possible has already begun and I am 6 hours away...

Re: Disowning your family

Yeah, that's so. I can understand wanting to support your cousins and sister, that's something i would want to do. Sorry you have to deal with so much drama and stress, but i'm glad you're not 'run here and help me!' close.

Re: Disowning your family

I have lived my whole life like this, I have 24 years of experience, at least now I am old enough to understand.

I also genuinely love my mother, aunts and uncles, when they aren't too sick they are a lot of fun to be around. They are the nicest, most generous people I know.

But when things go to hell they tend to go seriously to hell, like SeaKing 'choppers looking in the water for your aunt kind of going to hell.

My mother sometimes lives with me, which is draining, but it helps on my being a poor student situation so there is that?
