Yeah. At some point you have to step in and draw the line. Fuck 'em. Sounds like you need a break.

And I forgot to mention another big reason why I no longer care much for my extended family. For 2-3 years I was going through some really rough times. And the only person who ever offered any help, or even gave me the time of day, was my Dad. For several years, not one person, not even my Dad even asked me how I was doing. I'm sure my Dad ran his mouth and told everybody about the shit I was going through, and that would have made it even more akward if I were to start going to holiday functions again, because there's 80 people who knew about all the shit I went through, and not once did any of them even pick up the phone and call me. I'm sure they spent a fair deal of time discussing my situation in my absence, but they couldn't bother to call me or send me an email asking me how I was doing?

So if I did start going to family functions, and all of a sudden that we're forced to be face to face, they'll want to toss small talk back and forth with me? Fuck that, and fuck them. I hate fake ass people, which equates to 95% of the population, and the only halfway real person in my family is my Dad. I still have a lot of work to do if we're ever really going to connect and talk about anything of substance, but there's a foundation there at least.

And the sad part is, my Dad, the one person I care about in this world, I can't even completely trust at this point. A while back he turned me in as a person that should be watched, so I've been under surveillance for years because of him. But other than my cat, he's all I've got. If he ever proves to be completely untrustworthy though, I'll leave him, and this godforsaken state and I'll never come back, never call, never give another flying fuck about anyone that was in my life. I'll start over somewhere else, and give humanity one more chance.

Original Message We always go over to my grandmother's house for Christmas Eve dinner, and she always has these real assholes over. These are extended family members and "friends of the family."

They are just very mean-spirited, judgmental types and get into arguments with me and each other. Anyway, I'm sick of the stress, so I'm just not going.

I don't really care if it upsets anybody. I'm skipping out. I'll just go to a movie or something.

I've put up with it for several years and I'm just sick of it.

Anyone else feel this way?
