I hate my family - do I have to forgive?

OK back in 2006 I had enough of my siblings, all my life my second to oldest brother and my older sister picked with me all my life. All they ever did to me was tear me down and mess with me. Maybe this is why I have a low self confidence in myself and have very bad anger problems. I always stayed to myself and May of 2006 my oldest brother who I call jail-man because all he ever did was stay in jail came home and tried to take my dads car on a joy ride with no drivers licence while he was on a vacation with my mom. When I said no all of them came to my parents house and put all of my business in the streets like they always did from the time I was young. I was so embarrassed, people were laughing at me and to this day I still stay in the house most of the time to keep from being looked at by people who crack smiles when they see me and point at me talking under their breath. From that day I never spoke to any of them ever again. They even told their kids to not speak to me. My question is this? Why is it that they can do things to me like this but my mom tells me to forgive and help them out. Buy my nephew a game for his birthday when he walks right pass me and don't even speak to me. My mom is no better because she allowed them to harass me when I was young for the hatred she had towards my father. My life has been better without them in it.

i would recommend you leave the area they live in.

that you change your number and make sure they cant find you. they have hurt you for your whole life and the best thing for you is to move on. they havent eraned your respect or love so why should you give it to them. try and think of them as old friends that you fell out with. soon you will forget them. as for your mum she should no better.

if you feel happier when their not around, leave them. make your life wonderful because you only have one. and it shouldnt be ruined by other people.

:) good luck.

You don't owe anyone forgiveness.

It takes a lot to turn a young person against their entire family in a long-term permanent way. Whatever you feel is probably warranted.

If I were you I'd move away to a completely new area.

You don't HAVE to have your family in your life.

Move away and make a new life and a fresh start completely new.

Start apply for jobs on the other side of the country and go.

Good Luck!! xx
