Hello any one who may stumble on this.  I have spent my life trying to please my parents and siblings.  When they need something from me I do what ever I can to help, yet we all live short miles apart, and I can go weeks and not hear from any one.  The only time I hear from them is when they want something.

Until recently which is an old rehash from my brother over the neglect of his old dog.. I emailed him and requested no info on the dog as he knows my feelings of neglect...Next thing I know I am every thng but white and decent..  He called me every name in the book and then some.  Ihavetried to rectify the confilct but he is the type to play victim and turn anyone of my other siblings against me....  I have talked to my therapist and she says that scape goats are typical of those who don't want to take the blame for there own actions... I have to agree w/ her.

I Have spent my life trying to please my parents and will no longer be made the victim of there bad behavior or my siblings.  I would rather be lonely and alone then to be judged for any accomplishments I acheive big or small.  After the passing of my mom and father I saw the true colors of who they really are.   I have tried very hard to change my behaviors, such as holding a grudge and forgiveness, but I gotta tell you w/ my family I don't stand a chance in hell...

I have had no support from them except judgement, and critisism.  When my own brother told people that he is buddies w/ about my problems and my hospitalization, that was the straw that broke the camels back.  Nothing is private or sacred.  To think I confided in him as a support system is just another reason not to trust him or most if not all my family...  The thing he really hurt me w/ is telling me I should have finishd my self off when I had the chance.   If it weren't for the law and common sence.  I would strongly consider beating him til there is nothing left but clothes.

Any way thanks for letting me vent....
