I live in a house with three other members of my family. Each seem to be disposed to go into their own rooms, close the door, and usually pursue online gaming or something. Effectively, I’m by myself.

My family was abusive, angry and cruel. I was usually shunned, left out or kicked out once I arrived. The worse is the silence.

I’m glad you found FR. This is the first year since I was 5 years old that I haven’t dread Christmas. I was panicked to be left out, laughed at, pitied. Today I am alone but content. Your situation is sad. I hope you can find peace in a Christmas Carol or something.

Goodness! Families are just weird sometimes. You have taken abuse that you did not deserve. A real family would be supportive, or at least comforting to their own.

Like others on this thread, I have learned to embrace loneliness. I tend not to argue to much with myself. ;-D

Are you turned out because you are conservative, and they are not? Do not feel compelled to answer, I just want to know why I feel like choking people I've never met. ;-D
