setsenia Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 I definitely think so. I can think of several occasions when family problems and drama has had an affect on my studies and my work performance. This is for that reason why I have separated myself from said individuals. I just want normal. Link to post Share on other sites
purpleafrogal Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 Without a doubt! Unfinished business, hurt feelings, resentment, annoyance, dependency, inconsiderate behaviour. All of these things happen every day in small or big ways. In families we tend to be a little less careful with the feelings of our parents, relatives and siblings. Thigs you would never do to a friend or colleague or stranger are ok to do regularly and with immunity becasue of respect, fear and a million other reasons My examples 1. My Dad moved his partner into the family home where i was living without even bothering to tell me 2. He was emotionally and physically unavailable while i spent months looking after mys sick mother 3. My brother and father are unable to have a normal relationship and rely on me to speak to the party that is being problematic 4. My family expect me to do all admin, running around, domestic (bill payment etc. not with my own money) things for them- to the extent that they do not know how often/how bills are paid. 5. When my mother moved away for work when i was 11- i was expected to step into the 'mother's role at home- cooking, shopping, running the home (all but the physical work) That's just a few of the things i have to deal with. I can honestly say all of these things have caused me to be depressed because of the resentment, and anger i had at the lack of support and care my family have shown me since i was a child. i now do not want to get married or have children and have severe commitment issues because of all the nonsense i have had to endure and watch along the way. I will NEVER be "normal":( Link to post Share on other sites
setsenia Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 purpleafrogal, I know exactly what you mean. My dad had his girlfriend of about 6 months suddenly move in with us. And didn't tell me....until she moved in THAT NIGHT! They also got hitched in secret shortly after that so she could become a permanent resident. Needless to say, 5 years later they are divorced. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

There is a lot of research on this issue just do a little googling and you will find it. Edited April 11, 2012 by Nanette Link to post Share on other sites
