I have a very disfunctional family and about the only one I do get along with is my mother. My father is so set in his ways that he is just a total control freak so i haven't talked to him the last few months, but feel guilty, but also feel good at the same time cause he isn't in my life controling me and making me feel guilty. My brothers all into drugs and are so bad with being in and out of jail and stealing stuff that I cut all ties with them over a year ago...and boy thats another feel gooder for me. I am trying my best to raise my children differently than I was raised and was just wondering if anyone else has cut tie with their family for some of these same reasons and how its helped you. At times i feel guilty for it, but then i stop and think about things and i know its nothing i did.

Bless your heart. Don't feel guilty. All you can do is raise your kids to the best of your ability! I'm very lucky because I get along great with my family. On the other hand, my husband's family is a whole different story. Sounds a lot like what you've been through. I have absolutely nothing to do with them. Sorry I don't have much advice, just hang in there!
