Not on speaking terms....

[BluesBabe666]

Who else here is not on speaking terms with some of their family?

It used to really bother me but it seems to be all over the place lately!

I dont talk to my Dad and his wife and kid, and a couple of cousins... and my brother!! Cant even remember why!!

Dont speak to my Mum.
I rarely speak to one of my aunties (and uncle and their kids)

I never speak to my Mums parents either (My Grand Parents if you like ...)

Move out of home and be semi independent and show your folks that you can be really mature. BTW, if you kick your housemate out for peeing on the ground, you will show your folks that you can stand up for yourself.

Haven't spoke to my Dad and his family for nearly 4 years

One of my cousins doesn't talk to me much, probably because he's a mute. Other than that, all my family members talk to me.

Um, WHAT? I havent lived at home for 7 years Suzi. You know not what you say.

Haven't been on speaking terms with my dad since i was about 11, almost 17 now, i doubt i'll be speaking to him at all once i move out.
Dont speak to one of my dads other older daughters, coz of an argument they had a few years back, will never get to see my nephew or neice coz of him.

I'm not someone who gets hung up over silly grudges or anything. I'd say I get along just fine with all my relatives. I mostly keep to myself, so I won't go out of my way to call each of them up every week for a chat, but I think I get along just fine with them all.

Other members of my family have problems with some of the others, but I don't care about that, really. I don't think it's worth keeping feuds going.

The funny thing is that I am about to move out to a flat somewhere nearby so that I can be semi independent. I will do that for a year and then take the big jump to independance in 2004. I will be living by myself as well and I am told that it helps.

Family are more important than friends. Always maintain contact or mend bridges if you have to. This sounds like an Oprah topic. Or even better, a Springer topic!!!

Remember da family.

Helps what? The current people you live with retain their sanity?

Depends if some of your family have a surname you can keep dropping or not.

Look Suzi, I had to pee on the ground, I was drunk. Can I come home now?

Only members of my family I really talk to at all are my immediate family (Mum Dad brother sister). The rest of them don't approve of me or anything I do so I don't bother talking to them.

 

[bunsen burner]

I haven't spoken to or seen my Dad since 1984. I have a half sister who I have never met. No grudges or feuds, I just decided that I thought he was a prick and don't bother associating with him.

Haven't spoken to my brother for over 5 years. No particular reason here either. I just simply think he's a tool and don't have time for the guy.

I agree Roh - you shouldnt be friends with people just because you have to, because they're your family. It means nothing.

Most of my family (this is all on my Dads side anyway) are total arseholes. When my Mum got sick awhile ago, my Dads comment to me was, "Well, we all die some day". Its fukkd and its not what i needed to hear at that time in my life! I dont need to associate myself with people like that.

My old man.

I will never forgive him for my up bringing. He seems to think that b/c I am 28 it's ok.

But you never forget cruelty....never.

I speak to my mum and sister on a regular basis.

 

[Blues Angel]

Haven't spoken to my biological father since 1983 - bastard was a cruel ****er who was a wife basher, adulterer and thief. Thankfully Mum divorced him and got custody. Haven't bothered since - he left us in the lurch and ran off with his mistress (so Mum called the lawyers). He's wanted to get back into our lives recently because Mum is so ill, but we told him in no uncertain terms to go away and never ever ever return.

You can't forgive cruelty like that.....no matter WHO does it.

Also don't speak to any relatives on my Mum's side - some long ago feud when they cut her off from the rest of the family, so she said **** you and went off and had her own family. She doesn't even know why her parents, brothers and sisters disowned her like that.....and now they're both dead (her mother and father), so she will never ever know.....

Also don't speak to anyone on the father's side - for reasons mentioned above..... they are all a mob of psychos!!

Not that it's genetic or anything!

 

[goal_umpire]

I have seen my biological parents. I have forgiven my natural father for walking out on me when I was nearly 2 years old. However, I refuse to forgive my natural mother who is a gambler, beer drinker (and I mean 12 cans a day) and smoker, who cannot handle money. She also refuses to get help. I have hated her ever since she walked out on my natural sister and myself at night to go and drink.

 

[TigerCraig]

Feel really boring that my parents are still married, both great to me, no issues etc

Suzi you belong on Jerry Springer but then again I doubt any of it's true. You're an attention seeker, nothing more.
