[quote=Anonymous]I am so sad.  On the outside, everyone thinks I come from this great family.  Reality is, no one can stand to be around the other.  My dad was a workaholic and pretty much verbally abusive to us all, especially my mother.  My mother stayed home and is now constantly looking for validation and is basically having a breakdown because she feels like we should be indebted to her for staying home with us.  She is also very judgmental and my parents still try to control our lives.  My sister lives a questionable lifestyle with men in and out of her life, which I normally don't care about, but she has a little boy and having men live with you for a year at a time has to be confusing to him.  My brother pretty much hates the family and is the most negative person I have ever met.  My parents are disappointed that none of us kids are accomplished doctors or anything.  I am pretty responsible so they have no issues with me, but they are always speaking badly of my siblings, and while I see where the are coming from, it still hurts to know that I will never have a happy family who loves being around one another, and always lending a helping hand.  I hate that it ended up this way and I am really disappointed that I will never the sibling or parent relationships that others seem to have.  Guess this was just a vent.  How do I move on?[/quote]
