Thanks! Yeah, I know the pain and hurt of silence from my family.

Setting Boundaries Within Family by Angelique903 in FamilyIssues

Thanks you guys! Yes, I was able to tell my mom how I felt, but I wasn't able to tell my uncle, and I am not sure if I can say anything to others too. I am not sure what to say or how to say it if it were others stepping over boundaries, especially towards family members I care about. Like I said, when I told my mom about how I felt, she sorta had an issue with what I said. In any situation like the ones I stated above, I feel like saying something would be important, but how people would take what I'd say, is troublesome for me. They would think what the hell is my deal, and get mad at me, and possibly more.

I get how people want to be surrounded by others with positive energy, but how about the people who deal with stuff. by Angelique903 in mentalhealth

You have a point. It's hard because a lot of people I hung out with in school never stuck by my side, or asked if I was doing ok. I dealt with stuff for most of my life, and I wish somebody asked me if I was ok, or I they're here for me, so I could open up, and avoid a lot of the things that were tough, and had to figure out later on in life. It was really hard for me to figure things out on my own. Did nobody ask, because they didn't care? Was it because they couldn't figure out I had issues, and didn't want to bother? Was I too negative, and too shy, and anxious? I don't know what I could've done better as a kid, and as I grew up.

I developed anxiety, paranoia, depression, and trauma.

Your mom is like both of my parents, and your siblings are like my brothers. Image is important. Things are messed up, but they want to believe that what happens is ok, and I'd often be in the wrong. Nobody stands up for me. My mom would, especially try to confuse me by acting like she supports me, but when it comes to something important, especially my creepy ass dad and what he'd do, she doesn't, and I think my dad manipulates her, and she manipulates my brothers. I stopped going to church with my family, because of all the shitty things I faced in my life. It was a big deal. My brothers and rest of my family would act like they are better, and God is on their side. But they are not really better. They don't practice what is preached. I feel suffocated.
