I Have a Dysfunctional Family Stories of Experiences

My Mother, simply put, is the meanest person I know. She is a psychotic, a tyrant, and a bully all rolled into one. My parents split up when I was around 5-6 years old. I'm not exactly sure of the year their final split was made, nor...

I can tell you're not happy with her, so why do you stay?
She's brought out the worst in you, you're a whole different person.
I see the real you sometimes, when were alone.
I miss my old dad.. hes now emotionally vacant.
where'd you go...

They are teens and have both missed a year of school. This happened before too.
They were officially taken out to be home-schooled but there is no schooling going on and the state doesn't require any proof of education. They stay up all...

My parents got married straight out of high school and my father joined the Navy. They had twins, my older brother and sister, when my mother was 22. My brother and sister were almost 3 when I was born. My aunt lived with us to help my...

my mother has kicked my older sister multiple times. I'm not sure about the first time but I feel she's deserved it every time after that. She hung around questionable people then brought them over. Started smoking, staying out till all...

They drive me overboard, and I can't help but drive myself insane. They're not doing anything...but they are in my eyes. My mom and older sister are super skinny and they're trying to lose weight. This seems fine (I mean I am too) but...

I've been doing pretty well so far on my self injury but it seems the people closest to me are my biggest triggers. I love them all and don't want to hurt them. And some I don't have any choice whether or not to see them. Like my...

I'm not against people doing their own thing as long as they don't push it on me or try to constantly throw it in my face. I'm not against gays. I am against them acting like they should receive special treatment for having special...

I have a pretty strange family. I love them--don't get me wrong, but there are some off personalities in my family. I wouldn't change my family in any way though. Let me tell you about us.
I'm thirteen years old, and I live right...

Maybe an unusual thing to say for a man, but I think that I have never learned to feel safe with my family. Maybe that will never change. I don't know if it's possible for me to create a feeling of safety within myself. Not only do I...

during my Easter holidays, my family have cut off with another one of our "long list" of relatives. I don't blame them, those relatives were fools, but i lost my cancer surviving cousin who i loved so much. she was a part of that...

My mother was molested by her father (we (grandkids) called him PawPaw). He is dead now. Thank GOD! He molested her in their tiny trailer home back in the sixties. She said he started when she was 10 & it went on until the was 14 or 16...

My parents have drank all of my life, I even remember them allowing my sister and I to drink small amounts when we were kids which wasn't necessarily a bad thing as we were given a tiny amount and to me it seemed like by their allowing...

I grew up in a dysfunctional family as i stated in my previous "story". I am absolutely disgusted with my family. i can't imagine raising my kids around this mess. But because of my experiences with my family full of molestors and...

I write this story with a heavy heart.A friend of mine, he has been my friend since I was the age of 16 and I am now on the verge of 56, went into the hospital on a self propelled call for 911 help. I am totally freaked out because this...

As I have already written I know my stepfather had a terribly dysfunctional family and as I was growing up it came out that my best friend’s father, she lived two houses away from my house from three years old until our family moved...

So back to why I know my stepfather is dysfunctional. Besides his father being a selfish, loveless bastard my stepfather told my mother and I that he had a pet dog while they were living in the boxcar alongside the rail road tracks in...

When I started writing stories about my childhood and incidents that continue on in my family to this day due to the terrible things that were inflicted on my sister and I by our parents I was just trying to understand why it seemed...

It's all in their heads. We're dysfunctional thanks to lies, a lack of communication, grudges (over stupid, stupid things), and people being too self-involved.

I'm so sick of it. I tell them all to go to therapy. No one listens.

Is...

My mother physically abused me as a child. I had numerous problems in school. I would find out as an adult, (although not diagnosed) that I showed signs of autism. As a child I begged for therapy but my mother said it was all in my head...
