I Have a Dysfunctional Family Stories of Experiences (Page 17)

I have grown up with multiple father figures and around dysfunctional relationships.  This has left me with a skewed view of relationships and with a pretty tough exterior.

So here is my story…….

My parents...

Family problems, they go on for years, causing us heartache, blood sweat and tears. Nobody can put an end to their fears, keeping them secret, building veneers.

great granny, granny, mom and me.The great gran didn't come into the picture until she was like 91 or so and we would all argue. mom vs. granny. great gran vs. gran. me and mom vs. granny. Lol, just a elephant mess.Now it's just me and...

CAST OF MY LIFE:

Mom
Sister

It all started when I was 10. Me and all of my cousins from my dads side were playing hide and seek at my grandmas house on Thanksgiving. The next day my uncle came over and said that one of my cousins. Lets call him Tyler touch my...

I think everyone has a little dysfunction in their family, some more than others.. I guess mine has the "normal" dysfunction. lol
I'm talking about my extended family, on my mothers side... Now, on my dads side... they...

I have a dysfunctional family. 
I actually mean that. 
My little sister died when I was 6, my mom died just a year later. Me and my two sisters (one older one younger) grew up without feminine guidance. Turns out that...

Mostly we just irritate the crap out of each other, but then we also argue and yell at each other like no one is listening (and our neighbors usually are listening...).
Mostly I am the one on the outside. My sister is the one who...

Not too much but enough to distort my feelings about myself and others.  There was alot of intimidation, control, competitiveness and keeping feelings shut down.  Acceptance of feelings was only when they were approved of...

My parents have argued every day as long as i can remember. they aren't intimate at all. I've never even seen them kiss, and i've seen them hug about twice in my life. I can remember back to about age 3 or 4. I'm almost 20.5 now. It...

i don't fit in with my family because i don't have money and i am mentally ill.  recently, i made a big mistake by taking my mom out of a nursing home.  she said she wanted to kill herself and i decide she could live with me...

My dad was abusive and unpredictable  Usually he had a great sense of humor and he'd act like a great friend, but you never knew what would set him off. When he was set off he'd blame my mom for everything, break things, hit us...

I was single and worked in a family buisness for many years. I had a history of problems with my relationships.  The women that I chose had problems or would get tired of me. I was living with a woman for 6 Years and we got married...

to hate a family member?
Can that even be possible?
 Sometimes I think I really do hate my brother.  I'm 48, he's 44.  I know I hate his controlling, selfish, overbearing behavior.  
Do I hate...

Old enough to make this decision???
This may sound trivial, but in my family it's just another fight in the long battle I have with controlling family members.
Last week I bought my grandson a new hat.  A really cool hat...

My dysfunctional family can be counted on. They get a gold star for this, in fact, because you can always count on them:
To take the other person's word, even if this person is the queen or king of toxicity.
To treat you in the same...

That sounds lame, maybe, but my mother can be scary. She has extreme mood swings, and even to this day I don't know how to deal with her. She will want to go out for mother daughter time, when maybe the night before she called...

Oh my God where do I begin. Well I grew with an abusive father and an enabling mother. My mother new my father would beat the shit out of me and my brothers and she turned the other cheek. She was to obsessed with "having a...
