I hate my mom's family

Post Reply New Topic

I really do. They aren't cruel or openly mean spirited, but they are pretty bad all the same.

It is a large family of about 30 grandchildren and 6 aunts and uncles.

I like some of my cousins, some of them are really nice and really engaging. But the cousins as a whole are sort of a sorry piece of work. They are nice enough, but they are deeply privileged and uncompassionate people.

Not one of them is disabled (with aspergers or anything else) and many of the went to elite Catholic colleges, such as Notre Dame and Boston College. I myself struggled massivley to get into one of the local colleges around town. They are all extremely wealthy, and were the popular kids in high school (most of them.) Most of them are several years older than I and they at the point where they are now getting married. At the weddings we are at, there is tons of binge drinking involved.

They are all basically the Kennedy grandchildren (minus the cocaine use and criminality.)

While they all know I have asperger's syndrome, they don't particularly care (perhaps because they do not mind me much.) They definitly are not interested in autism as a topic, because it is boring.

My aunts (my mom's sisters) are all quite warm and friendly but have sort of a mean streak too. Since there was sort of a falling out between my mother and her sisters over some family business dilemma, they have all sort of befriended her and excluded her from their life and activities.

It is hard to really pinpoint/describe why I have disdain for them all as a family, but I would say generally they are privileged,mean-spirited,petty, and unkind. A common, instictinctive reaction from many of them is a sense of anger and outrage at the thought of having to the "moral" or "right" thing.

Just had to get this out of my system, since there is another wedding soon approaching. I enjoy the weddings

Sounds like my family, they really don't care that I have Asperger, I also have Cerebral Pasly & Psoriasis. I try to tell them stuff about my Asperger, but they won't listen, my sister is the WORST! She thinks she knows everything about me, her teenage son's friends have Aspergers, so she thinks she is an expert on Aspergers. She may know me as a sister, cuz we do think alike & do stuff alike, but she don't know me as a person. How would she really know how I'm feeling & what I'm going through? She is not a mind reader, she is acting like it. I hate it that she want to be a big sister to me now, she was hardly in my life. For most of my life, she didn't care about being a sister to me, when I was younger, I wanted to be closer to her, we don't get along too good, I tried to talk to her when my mom & me visited her when she got married.

My family makes me feel soooo alone & very scared. That is my mom's family, my dad don't understand too.

^ Im really sorry about that.
