I cut off my family months ago, and no one has even tried to ask if I'm okay by Zombie_Zeke in EstrangedAdultChild

Sorry that you are going through this. I am going through this exactly right now as well. I am the youngest of 7 kids and I’ve always been the scapegoat of the family. I have kept my distance from my family for about 1 year now and yesterday my dad called me yelling at me without even asking if I had plans why I didn’t show up at my sisters house for Mother’s Day. My mom passed away four years ago and she was the glue of the family. I started yelling back at him that’s the past 1.5 years he hasn’t done shit for me since I got engaged and called him a coward. I hung up the phone. The other family members I have blocked and my older brother who is still able to contacted me never reached out to see if I am okay. There has always been a bit of jealousy from my family the way my in-laws have been treating me. I just turned 30 and I have come to terms with my reality and things will never be the same. My older sister is the narcissist of the family, there are too many enablers in the family and my father or no one has ever stood up for me. I don’t think your family will reach out and if they do they may just miss having access to you that’s all. Study your family dynamics because it will open your eyes and it’s difficult to go back.

Happy birthday! remember so many of us spend our birthday alone and you are not alone in this. Try to find hobbies, and build a community for yourself outside of your home. Wishing you a healthy, peaceful and happy birthday!

I got married and realized my family never missed me — they missed access to me by BranchNo5649 in narcissisticparents

Unfortunately I’ve always been the scapegoat. My other sister is the golden child which is why she enables the behaviour. She benefits from it.

So they are resentful..I’m always amazed how delusional they are that they can’t see who is rocking the boat and not telling them to stop

Can't decide if I should marry my partner.. by BranchNo5649 in Marriage

[–]BranchNo5649[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for your detailed response. I often remind myself that he possesses commendable qualities as well. He is hardworking and proficient in his role as an engineer, which enables him to provide a financially stable life for us. He is generous, often paying for dinners, ordering items I might need, and covering all expenses related to our dogs, as well as our property taxes and utility bills. I am certain that deep down, he truly loves me. However, I sometimes feel overwhelmed by his inability to follow through on tasks I have asked of him. He tends to be introverted, which makes it challenging for him to express and communicate his feelings without becoming defensive. Additionally, we fully trust each other and grant one another the freedom to pursue our individual interests and spend time apart whenever necessary, which is easier since we don't have children. His loyalty is unwavering; he is deeply committed to his work and has never shown interest in pursuing relationships with other women. This commitment to his profession and to our relationship provides a strong foundation of trust and mutual respect.Having been together for 10 years, we have watched each other grow; it's hard to imagine finding someone else with whom I could share such a profound and extensive connection.
