friends help: My family and I are estranged. - Help.com

My family and I are estranged.

And I have stopped speaking to them. They are judgemental, shallow idiots. I cannot stand them. For years, growing up I dealt with their abuse. Emotional, physical and verbal abuse. I had brothers and sisters who only cared for themselves. My parents also made it very dysfunctional by stooping to a low level always. I was always quiet, and peaceful. I never knew how I was related to such lunatics. Everyone is diagnosed with some form of mental illness. Bipolar, Anxiety or depression. For instance, my older brother yells at his wife. Everyone is on some form of medication for psychological issues. I am not. My parents are both mentally disturbed. My biological father has threatened me for years, as well as done very abusive things to me. In 2005 he gave my pets away just for kicks. And when I got angry he laughed. My mother says I’m a bum and a loser to all her friends. I was an A student in high school. I never did drugs, and never drink alcohol. But for some reason my family has teamed up so they can take me down. My question is… Why? Why is this? My only answer is that for some reason I was born into a family full of psychopaths and sociopaths. I am in my 20’s. But I have no one and no job. No where to go. No friends. And when I try to explain my situation, people get scared and say “good luck with that” and get away from me. Am I screwed?
