Do you lack family solidarity?

If your family wants you to solve yur problems in private with them, but then they naturally don't want to listen to all thios crap about themselves, so you have to tell someone to sort out your emotional problems and let everyone know that you aren't just a sour b***h and have reasons for your sourness, and this is the only way you can think of to do it: posting it on the public forums. People forget things when you jsut use your mouth to tell them. And then you have to explain all over again. If you just showed them a book you wrote on it there's the risk that the book might be torched in a fire or something. If the book is published then I'm violating my parents' privacy anyway. My mother claims I'm violating her privacy and I never even mentioned her name on WP. And it's not like any of you are ever going to meet her, and none of you know her last name or what she looks like or her address or even her first name.


So no, I don't shut my mouth. That's for brainwashed people.


Do you ever find yourself telling people things about your family that they would kill you if they knew you told them?

I spent time as a shut in once before and the way I used to complain about my family back in those days would have had me disowned ages ago. I do still have issues with them every now and then but its more that I am not close with them as I should be. But then that also has to do with a multitude of things that span back to when I spent time as a shut in. Especially once I look back on everything as a whole.

I had a supportive family, but there are limits. Nobody really wants to hear people's "self pity." When I weigh the issues others in my family have faced (cancer, multiple sclerosis, and the like), my problems are nothing at all. I count myself fortunate. It wasn't a life of particularly great accomplishment and I got a late start on many everyday things, but at least I'm alive.

Things have improved between myself and my family over the past two years. It was two years ago around this time that I felt my family was falling apart and I thought it was all my fault. There was a clash of cultures in my family between my mum and I. We're as close as we were three years ago around this time before all the stuff happened.

Pretty much. I never felt like I was part of mine. I was adopted, but I don't think I would have fit in with my biological family either.

Yes. I have barely seen any of them for fifty years.
