Is this normal

tmg4me · Feb 12, 2019 at 05:31 PM

Is it normal for family members to cut you out of their life because they don't want to deal with my instability? If it was my family member I couldn't cut them out of my life. Life is very lonely right now without any of my family. I have one friend that is there for me but I'm afraid to lose her because of my instability. I wish my life was different. The only family member that was there for me was my Mom but she died this past June so I have nobody.

I’ve done it.

I’ve had it done to me.

People protect themselves in ways that sometimes feel selfish or unfair from the outside.

I got kicked out and disowned at 16. Mainly because I couldn’t stop fighting with family. I don’t blame them I just couldn’t do that to my son. All of us came back together, when I was less argumentative and they needed me. I’m fine with it I forgave them.

I agree with FirstBee.

Not telling you what to do but don't worry about losing your friend you mentioned....am betting it's causing you too much struggle, and actually making the loss more likely.

These are abandonment feelings you are having from what I can gather. Hopefully are talking to a professional about it.
