I struck out on my own at 16 and had plenty of family issues Rani :glasses7:
My 2 younger brothers stayed with my mom, I wanted to see who my father was and quit
living with my mom and grandmother, my mom and grandmother understood but my 2 younger brothers would harass me on the phone 500 mile away and hang up (being young
) I put this aside and moved on with making my own life, my father and I got along great but it did not go well with his new young wife (jealousy and paranoid) of my presents. My older brother was raised by my father and we got along ok but we was 2 different kinds of people, He was immature and his morels was a bit out there :?.......... I guess he learned that from the high life of having a (Hot and Young) step mom that manipulated everyone she came in to contact with :wack: and she did not work and they had 2 homes (THEY HAD MONEY :coffee2
my dad was an architect so my older brother was raised by her.......:?
Rani, I put good people around me and worked in the same town and it did bother me that I could not see my father or brother :sad5: because it just caused trouble for them :glasses7: so I just stayed away for well over 20 years and glad I did, You may not know it but I have morels
that was put in my life living with my mom and grandmother and her other sons.....R.I.P Robert, Loyd, Mom and my partner in crime Grandma :sad5:
I have made a happy life for myself and have many great memories made with my friends for well over 35 years on my own, My younger brothers have grown up and they are proud of what I have dun with my life, but we did stay apart for well over 10 years....
My parents (mom and Grandma have past away) My fathers young wife leaved my father so we had about a year of good times and he came to my home and net his grandson :glasses7: and seen everything he has been missing out on as he seen me in my life :sad5: He was amazed as he watched my son and I play music for his first time when I was about 40, seen his grandsons and felt bad about the way he dealt with life..... and I/we my family said put that all behind you and look at this day as your first Dad :cheers:....
I knew what I wanted in life and did what I had to, nothing at all wrong with staying away from folks that don't see life as you do, Life is to short to deal with there problems we can't do anything about, it's best to move on and grow, sounds like your family that is giving you bs are just thinking about there own well being and do not care/want to see you secede..... I know that if my wife and I put up with my Dads way of life my sons and my wife would not have so many great memories/Friends/people in our life, family or not.. people are different and we must do what our wisdom and morels tell us to do ... They need to applaud you for your new life and be proud of you, not destructive and think of just there self ..:wack:... maybe things will change in years to come, but let them do there thing and hope for the best for them, you are responsible for you and the folks and friends around you that put a positive out look, wisdom, care and morels upon you......Take a stand, put your foot down :coffee2:
that you have a path in life and they can like it or not, but don't let them tread on you..
Wow.. sorry about this long winded post :coffee2:
