blacksheep in the family

I don't think that you are a black sheep in your family, but you should obey your parents, although you know that they doesn't have the reason. I think you will feel better doing this. You will avoid conflicts and achieve the inner peace.

Yes, the black sheep in my family is my father. It's sad but it's true. In your case, I think you are been seen as the black sheep but you are not. There is a difference between an actual black sheep and a person who is seen as one. My definition of 'black sheep' differs from yours. Anyway, if you are financially able to, have you thought of moving out? I think it's better for you in the long-term. Take care and have a great wk ahead!:)

I think that there are a lot of families that tend to have a black sheep in the family.I feel like i am the black sheep of my family and i know that my husband is the black sheep in his.I tend and he tends not to care much, as we are older and we have our own lives to live now.

I've been the "black sheep" in our family according to my younger sister, who in her own point of view always seems to do,to say and to be the most appropriate in our family. I've offered me freely for my family, but been ignore, rejected and judged unfairly. As well other people often judge me unfairly not knowing the full story. I'm used to it. I've learnt I'm my own very best dependable friend, who I have with my always.

I'm black sheep in my family. I was good and responsible kid as I'm the oldest. I started to have my own ideas and my own point of view. My family have never been happy what ever I did. I love sport and I was good at it my family never came to see my. When I was graduated my family did not come to see me having my paper. When I started writing novels they said that I have no talent no matter that they never read anything mine. They just judged that my stories are not worth the time. That was long time. My and my partner wanted to be engaged and we invited both our mothers ( as we have no fathers any more)and my brother for special dinner. My mother said to my future mother in law that I'm fat, I can't cook and I will be bad wife. Can you imagine this? Thanks God we live in different country and I don't have to listen to my family. I call them once for a while to let them know that I still care for them. I don't want them to put their shoes in my life because I'm adult and this is my life!

you can't please everyone! continue to do what you want and what you do best! and you're not a blacksheep! you're just standing up for yourself, which is a quality that should be admired! continue...

Being a youngest in the family is not easy because most of our elders wanted us to follow their orders. They make us like a child always with no capacity to decide what we like, what we need and what is the best in our life. Even though we are already grown up and in my case i have already my family but still the same they treated me like i am the same child as they know. Before i was like you a very good one and always obey, follow them as my elders sisters and brothers. But since i do wrong with them because of money which i cannot intended to spend it for nonsense they begun to change and now i am a black sheep among our family. THey started to hate me and almost dont want to talk to me even at phone. I am turning into bad now for their eyes. How bad....

I'm the black sheep, and I take pride in who I am. My childhood sounds similar to yours, but it my mother went as far as to intentionally punish me KNOWING that my siblings had done something wrong in the hopes to get them to care and confess. Of course, they never did... why would they when they had me for a whipping boy? Growing up, I was raised to accept differences even if I didn't agree with them.. Not to be bias toward those of a different race or religion "Just Because." Now my mother is almost disgusted by people who are different than she is. She is a conservative Christian patriot. She raised us watching horror flicks and that games like Dungeons and Dragons were okay if you didn't believe that they were real and that nighttime television drams sucked. Now she regrets letting me watch cheesy horror flicks like Fright Night and thinks that I am going to go to hell for playing MMORPGs like WoW. She constantly makes snide remarks about one of my friends, simply because he is Muslim, even though he was generous enough to provide for my family financially when I lost my job. She makes remarks about my friends who have punk hairstyles and clothing... she doesn't know them at all, or she'd realize that most of them have spent time working in foreign countries to establish rural transportation systems, volunteer as tutors for inner city youth, and have even created programs in some of Chicago's toughest neighborhoods to help keep the kids off of the streets and out of trouble. Me? I'm outspoken and I cut my hair the way I want to cut it. I wear what I want to wear and I have friends of every race, religion, creed, lifestyle.. from corporate execs to outright thugs. I've pretty much always worked minimum wage jobs and surviving is a struggle most days. Most of my family members have good jobs... One owns his own business, one cousin is a pyrotechnician, another is a doctor and married a doctor. And if I don't live up to their standards, that's just fine with me. I live life as a decent human being and live by my own standards, not the expectations of others. Black sheep, indeed (:\ Baaaahaaaahaaaah!
