I was expecting to have a great positive Friday visiting my mother until someone got under my skin in my family. Because of this I have officially cut him off. When people think that you're weak they will use you, disrespect, and abuse you. You always stand up for yourself and feel no guilt afterwards. My question is, does anyone have a family member who is a troublemaker? Any family you just don't associate with? I don't like bullies and the worst is when it's in your own family. Blood is not thicker than water to me anymore.

I cut off all the people I am related to years ago. I only have my parents in my life. The rest of them can fall off a bridge for all I care.
-
I had two mean older sisters. The one close to my age was especially mean. Now she tries to get close to me but I just don't feel very close to her.
-
I never cut anyone out. However I did keep a distance for many many years since I didn't like the man that was hanging around my mother for years. He was around from before my father passed away. And he stuck around until the day he died. Once he passed away I started visiting with my Mom regularly. My youngest and oldest daughter also visit her now. I didn't like the idea of that man being around my children. I don't regret the time lost with Mom as I was raising my own children and had to do what I felt was right for them. As it turns out now that Mom doesn't have that man around she's back to her old fun loving self again.

I have two of them sister and brother. Too long of a sordid tale but I haven't seen either one of them since our mom died in 2010 and that is fine by me. They are and have pretty much always been users and takers and really showed themselves when our mom died. It is too bad when things like this happen but that is ok I have been just fine.

family drama,,, UGH !!!! mine is my brother who turned his daughter into "him" and against her own family. I haven't talked to my brother in 8 years ,,, ever since my mom passed away. I have never seen anyone like him who would cause so much hurt and hate when his own mother passed away. :( 8 years later and it still hurts me to even think abut it
-
Me either. Good luck some members are not really good for you. Can't pick your family or neighbors only your friends. I hope/wish for cool headed decision making on your end. :rose:
-
I'm on good terms with my whole family. There are a couple members that are a little difficult, but in the interest of family peace, I attempt to overlook certain behavior and try to make the best of it.

I posted a few weeks ago our dog passed away.My family and myself still at times are shedding tears.I said i have shed more tears for our dog then some people.Sad to say that but the bible predicted in the last days the love of the greater number has cooled off.Our dog even tho animals are not created in Gods image as man is react to your kindness.Pet lovers i am sure can relate.Many forget the 2nd commandment to love our neighbors in these trying times.No one is perfect either but we all can do a better job as well.I wish you all well and remember God can give us strength beyond what is normal if we ask HIM for it under HIS terms.

I have one of those, a user, a taker, a liar and a cheat. I used to tolerate her. But the time has come that I no longer really care if she is around me or not. My family tries to get me to forgive and forget some of the things she has done but it is hard. I have learned to forgive but not to forget. I don't think I can ever trust her anymore. She even tried to bust up my marriage by making a play for my husband, He won't have anything to do with her either. She was not raised that way.so I can't understand why she does it. She does not do it to the other family members just me. And I have bent over backwards for her at times and when I quit she started this crap. Guess this is a problem for her.

I have two step brothers that I communicate with once a year and a sister that I see/speak with two to three times a year. This is by choice because they are all negative nancys. I spent a year trying to keep my sister from killing herself and she responded with anger at my success. I get out to visit my parents twice a year and wish it were more but they decided to move to Arizona (I live in Colorado) and I have work/immediate family commitments that make it difficult to exit from. I call my parents weekly as does my wife and children. I communicate with a cousin on a near daily basis and we get together two to three times a year. I do not speak with my biological father (have not for over twenty five years) because he is/has been quite an uncaring mess for longer than I can remember.
-
I'm with you. People have always talked about how important family is. I'm not going against that but there sure are exceptions. Family or not, there is a line and there are times where we are better off without someone in our life.

Hello! :D :)
The thing with my family is really complicated. I guess it all has to do with my mother not reacting to the problem. I really wish we all were close and went on family vacations you know things like that. Nonetheless, it is what it is! :dontknow: :heart: :rose: :heart: :rose: :heart: :rose: :heart: :rose: :heart: :rose: :heart: :rose: :heart: :rose: :heart: :rose: :heart: :rose: :heart: :rose: :heart: :rose: :heart: :rose: :heart: :rose: :heart: :rose: :heart: :rose: :heart: :rose: :heart: :rose:

Every family have a drama always, that's why i don;t bother me anymore.
-
oh yes, for sure.
I could fill two pages here, but suffice it to say....blood relatives, in-laws, relatives by marriage, just part of my life.
I just withdraw from that person.

It's so sad when families are pulled apart All families have ups and downs but my ups have far outweighed my downs

Same with me .... :)
-
OMG i have two family members who like to start trouble like this to the point where you want to yell at them and tell them to get out go away not bother me anymore
-
Yeah, I have members in my family that are difficult to get along with. I do my best to get along with them, but it's impossible not to lose your temper after putting up with their crap for years on end.
-
I have drama in my family. There are members who don't get along. I pray one day that they will.
-
I think every family has someone like this. For your sanity, yes, you need to keep them at a distance. Sad, but it is what it is.
-
I've never cut anyone out of my life. I do have a few family members that can be difficult and overly dramatic, but I don't see them often enough to let it bother me :peace: :)

Use to have one but she died. I am sure there are others. I am not around extended family all that much. I am to the point in my life where I cannot deal with drama and I avoid it at all costs. If you are a drama queen then I will avoid you. Family, friend, co-workers, whatever.
-
I think 99% of people have drama with their family. If you are the quiet type, people will underestimate you. I am the quiet type, but I always warn people to not underestimate me because if they do they will be sorry. It has happened to me a few times and I've had to kick people to the curb because of their nastiness. Goodbye drama.
-
I really don't have any family drama. We get along and travel together. The closest to drama only comes when we have to listen to their problems and beliefs and then we change the subject to keep the peace.
-
Our family all gets along pretty well, I avoid Drama
-
Some times having 0 family is a blessing !
-
The family I created by marrying a man and having his children, one of whom has children too, is just wonderful. We are close-knit, talk to one another on the phone frequently, visit each other often, etc. But the family I grew up in hardly communicates at all. There is no nastiness involved, it is just not being there for each other at all. I don't know which is worse - having a lot of contact with nastiness, or none at all.
-
we have a few...but dont see them often enough to cause any undo arguments...
-
I don't talk to my dad. He was verbally and physically abusive to me as a child and I want nothing more to do with him, not to mention I got cut out of the Will (What do you think I'm doing making pennies on this site? Lol). :)
-
There will always be family drama, and blood is always thicker than water. I guess it depends on how you where rise, Family is everthing.
-
I think every family has issues with drama. I avoid it like the plague.
-
I have a LOT of family members, mostly on my mother's side, that are pains in the *bleep*. They treat their parents like absolute garbage and only talk to them when they want something. I despise that type of mistreatment, and so I simply refuse to talk to them.
-
Troublemakers are not just in the family.
They can be neighbors...co-workers and much more.
I completely avoid them. I have no time to deal with them.
-
Think every family has someone that likes the drama. Did not to talk to my sister for 8 months and then got invited to her 60 birthday party by niece. I thought about it for over a month and talked to my other sister about and finally decided to go and try one more time and be the bigger person. She acted like nothing ever happened but that was a month ago and of course I have not heard a word from her. So I am done reaching out.
-
If only we could actually pick our family. But alas, we can't and some of us get the short end of the stick. Hope things start going better for you soon.
-
Going to say my whole family to be honest every few times drama happens in my family from loans being made without any family members knowledge to fighting over a dam pair of shoes.
-
I get along with pretty much everybody in the family. There are some I like more than others but, there are family members that won't be in the same room with each other and I think that's sad.
-
I thought about it and took a long look at the people in my family, there is one and she was. But now she is getting better, but I still be on the lookout.
-
OMG! Family is everything. You people who have cut off family members need God in your lifes. :heart:
-
I had two mean older sisters. The one close to my age was especially mean. Now she tries to get close to me but I just don't feel very close to her.
Boy, I hear you here!!
I am sorry you are going through this.
