Hello everyone. I am new here. I was looking for a place to talk about family estrangement. I just need some support. I am one of five children. There has always been conflict, hurt, and pain. My brother and I have decided a few months ago to disconnect with the other siblings, as well as my mother. I just couldn't take anymore, nor could he. I have never gotten any respect within my family, I was basically the "black sheep." My mother and others are upset from not having a relationship with my brother. Not to my suprise, they don't care that I no longer phone or have contact with them. This hurts. I was particularly depressed around this holiday, Christmas. My sisters have neglected my children now, who are still both under the ages o 18.
