writes:My half families never like me since I was a baby. I am the black sheep of my entire family. Whenever we are together I have to put up very unkind humiliations and verbal abuses etc. No one in my family has ever given me supports of any kind. When things go wrong with me they will make them sound ten times worse. When things go well with me they will put them all down. Growing up at home everyday I was being told that I was useless and stupid in anything. I left my home when I was 19 years old I never look back on my decision. I did not see any of my family again until several years later. I thought things would have changed. But No! Even on my wedding day I was the last person to get ready and dressed for the church. I had to do all the food preparation and decoration etc and cook for my family as well. On my wedding day one of my half sisters even asked me “when we get devoice should I have my husband money and house?”! After that day I hadn’t seen them again for many years again. However over the years my half sister constantly blackmail for money but I refuse to take any notice of her until about 10 years ago or so I had to discontinue any contact with her. Those years ago when I was living in a hostel no one contact me at all. Now I managed to build some security around myself they just want take it all away from me. I never even told anyone in family that I graduated from University etc. I just cannot share anything with them good or bad. As a result I do not really have family or friends for many years. I know very little how to get along with people. I must be very odd!

 You don't sound the slightest "odd". You sound like a very admirable person. You can't pick you family but you can make your own friends. I think maybe that's exactly what you need to focus on right now. I think you will find out that you do indeed know how to get along with people and you may find out the joys of friendship and that will take up the slack for your horrible family. Get out there sweetheart, and show the world what a wonderful person you've made of yourself!
