The family that I loved is the family that pushes me to get away from them....

Good day Fellow Mylotters, I really loved my family but I can't help but cry since they are pushing me to my limits. Hence, how can I loved them if they are pushing me away from them. Just like my brother, who always believes in his wife who is making some dirty tricks. His wife is doing some rumor mongering thus make her husband to get mad. Because of this, I really can't say if I am going to loved them still. Hence, I am always saying on my prayer that I am willing to get far from my family and loved them from afar but if they keep on pushing me to be away then, maybe, I might not loved them anymore.

You can not choose your family. If you don't fit together it's the best to respect eachother and go your own way. There is no need to stay and get annoyed by eachother, hate eachother, make eachothers life miserable. And if is comes to your brother: stay out of his relationship with his wife. You will never know what is really going on since you are not her and you are not your brother. Also your brother will be different as brother as he is as a son or a husband or nephew or cousin or neighbour. Your brother has to take care of himself and his own relationship. If he can't do that he has to learn it... sooner or later he will. So will his wife.

Honestly, I am staying away from them but the wife of my brother is doing some bad tricks. She always telling annoying words to my brother that makes him mad. And because of this, our family relationship ruined. Thus, I can't really explain why this girl is doing such thing. Or maybe she has some bad motivation.

Wow wakeupkitty, thats some great advice. To airasheila, I was kinda in the same situation when my brother got married, his wife was possessive, jealous and a trouble maker. It settles down with time and though that time I never thought I could, I actually like her now and kind of understand her insecurity and confusion too at that time, (though I dont justify what she did in many ways) But long story short, put some space if that helps but dont cut away from your family, they will back u up when u need it and u cannot afford to lose them by choice. When God decides its over, (the final parting) you cant change that, so you dont make a parting now, stay far, stay in touch occasionally and pray hard for things to change. Prayer will really help more than anything else.

good day to you sunsham68, honestly, i don't want to go far but if it is the only way to loved them then i would definitely abide for it. i am willing to loved them from afar as long as the harmony in our relationship will come back. though this will be difficult for me but i am willing to adjust for it. indeed, prayer really helps.

Why is your sister-in-law so mean? How about talking to your brother and defend yourself. Tell him that isn't it "Blood is thicker than water?" He shouldn't believe all the things that his wife is saying. He should know you because you are his "SISTER."If not, then, go away from them. If they don't care about you, then you shouldn't not also care about them. Mind your own life then if that's what they want. Maybe your brother will realize his mistake in the future. I hope you can clear yourself to him first before going away. I hope won't cry anymore.

Well, if his wife is always there, don't mind her. That talk is between you and your brother. She should not be there. Ask your brother if his heart will allow you to go on your way and will never ever be in touch again. Your brother should be reasonable. You are his own blood.

Maybe its time to think of you self, your brother has hes own life and you too, i think its better to move away from them, before you lose your respect to them, you know you can't push your self to love by them. its good that you are a loving and caring person, but love your self also, i'm sure your brother can handle things. Avoid things that's causing you pain and stress, you must enjoy life. You can live without them the fact that they are not the one who give you air to breath.

Oh dear sometimes it is better to live away from your siblings if only to maintain your peace. Once your siblings get their own partners in life it would be really hard to keep the harmony inside the home. So it is always good that a married couple should separate. They should live on their own. But if your brother and his wife can't do that, then I suggest you move and have your own where you can live in peace.

I can only say this from my experience and that is the gap between society and family is getting less as days go by. Sometimes it is better to choose society over family and get your peace.

hi there, i do agree with your statement. and perhaps, i should learn how to divert my attention to other people and other things rather than giving importance to the family that pushes me away. although it is really painful but, i guess, this is the best thing to do.

So goes the saying "you can choose your friends but you can't choose your family". I don't think a person really every stops loving their family. That is always a special connection no matter what. There does come a time that you spend too much time with them though. Family will always be there but you don't have to spend everyday with them for them to know you care. You have your own life and so do they. Close families are wonderful but everyone needs their space. My oldest daughter lives down the street from me. I don't talk to her everyday, nor do I want too. We are there for each other when we need it but every family needs their own space to be an 'their' family. As for your sister in law. Well, we can't pick those either. Hopefully your brother will come to terms with her and what she does. That is still between them though, even if it effects you - he is the caught in the middle of it. It can't be easy for him either having his wife and sister at odds with each other.

I agree with other responses we can not choose the family that we end up with. There are times when family do not fit together, because of certain things. I see there is a lot going on within your family. I would love them from far away, because if they keep pushing you out then what can you do right? I hope that all works well for you and your family. There are days when I wish we could choose our family haha.
