Mental Illness Fellowship Northern Territory

oh my @Appleblossom, wow what a family story, i have never had contact with my fathers family in Germany, their was a falling out before i was born so i have never even spoken to any of my fathers family, and my mothers family are scattered all over Australia, i have seen them all only at weddings and funerals.  maybe an odd week on hollidays, a handful at best.

so i am thinking maybe i am better off not going down the path of contact and just letting things be, maybe less complicated that way.

thank you all for commenting, i know many of us struggle with family problems and i think in some ways it hinders our mental health and can some times make it much worse.

i can't handle confrontation, too frightened, so i just walk away and never speak to them again.

it is a shame becausse time is precious, people don't live forever, and family is all we really have. it is a shame we can't cherrish each other for ones individuality and deversity and not sweat the small stuff.

Families are so complicated. i know, it just saddens me to see how much time is wasted with fighting.
