Most families put out the vibe that they are just perfect behind their white picket fence, but we all know the truth. There is always something going on in families and homes that they don't want anyone to know about.

My question is, do you have any issues with your family that you would like to share? It is more of a venting forum poll post then anything. Let it out.

I recently answered a forum post question about how people can be born evil. I believe that my mother is pure evil. She is the most despicable person on this earth. She has done so much damage in my life, and others, that cannot be reversed. I am sure I will be in therapy for a very long time because of her. I don't even have contact with her anymore because I cut ties.

Share your stories! If you need someone to talk to, I am here for you. I've been through it all.

Don't get me wrong, I love MOST of my family. I love my grandmother (My Nana. She is my rock. She is my everything. I call her like three times a day. She also raised me all of my life and I lived with her all of my life), my grandfather (he has always been there for me even though he isn't my real grandpa), my aunt (I consider her to be way better than my mother and she is more to a mother than me then my real mother, besides nana), my sister (we went through some shit and we are so much closer because we bonded on how much we hate mom), and my cousins. I love my family. Just not certain people.

Anyone have any horror stories?

My mother is a lying, deceiving mess. I cut ties with her completely many many years ago. My dad and I have had issues but could always count on the other person when we were in dire straits. My brother--is only out for himself and I had to make the break with him when he ignored my dad's plea for help. Dal lost his land and dreams due to my brother's lack of care and help.

I recently came out as trans* to my majorly religious/conservative family, so yes, we have some problems...

No complaints here, it's all good in the hood. I have a very supportive and loving family. Sorry to be a buzz kill, I guess I should consider myself lucky.

My dad is fun loving but he's also really insensitive when it comes to serious issues. My brother also has really bad anger issues.

It is not safe for me to have contact or allow my children to have contact with my extended family, or with Sigel's extended family. We do enjoy a cordial relationship with Arch's parents which is nice.

There isn't anyone that I avoid. My grandmother would've made that, but she's deceased so not an issue. My family has quirks, but I love them. My extended family isn't seen enough for it to be sn issue. Still even in those who are still alive, there isn't anyone I'd keep a boyfriend away from.

I have issues with my family from time to time and there are certainly things about them that set me off, but overall, I get along with all of them.

I haven't spoke to my mother in almost 10 years, same with my baby sister. I don't care to ever speak to my mother again and have made it clear that she is already dead to me, I don't want to know when she does pass on.

We live in the same house as my husbands parents, and by default the rest of his extended family is over all the time. It's not that we don't like them, but being around them all constantly gets old fast.

Love parts of my family a lot, others I can take or leave.

I do not speak to my mother. She has a lot of issues and I just can't be around her anymore. Other parts of my family I speak to. My older sister was the person I was closest to in my whole family...she raised me from the time that I was 13. She is the reason I went to college and did so many things in my life. She passed away 2 years ago unexpectedly and I don't have nearly as much contact with my family since. She was like the glue that held us all together.

My older cousin. He and I were always close, but for whatever reason, in February 2010, he just cut me off. Won't talk to me at all. He won't even explain what happened. Just... refuses to have anything to do with me. I've tried asking his siblings what's wrong and they say they don't know. My dad asked my aunt what happened and she said she knows what happened, but she won't tell us what happened. I have absolutely no idea what went wrong, but he refuses to acknowledge me in any way so I can't even figure it out. He was my favourite cousin. It breaks my heart that he would just abandon me like this.

I no longer speak to my parents, have no problems with the rest of my family but my parents have never done anything but hurt me, be hateful towards me, steal from me and they act as if they are totally innocent and are baffled.... they love to say "you have anger issues" umm yes but only towards them and its very very validated!

Don't feel alone, i definitely don't have one of those happy close families, i'm looking forward to moving day when i'll finally be out of the same state as them again! it cant come fast enough! lol

I love my mom but she's possessive, she expect me to text her 24/7 and call her before everything. I hate that so I dont talk to her.

I tolerate what is left of my family as we are a small one, but they other men in the family really get on my nerves much of the time.

I love the family I keep in contact with. However, that is mostly my mom, dad, and sister. The rest of my family doesn't care about me, so I find it hard to care about them.

I haven't spoken to my father for many years and my mother and I struggle to keep a relationship going.

I love them but dont like them.My mother and sister take advantage of me and always has.My mother isnt a mother at all..she acts like im the mother!She gets kicked out of every place shes lives from not paying rent or her bills,is iresponsible and then thinks she can come live with me.She tries giving me the guilt trip and cries all the time because I dont answer her calls.I dont answer because she always wants something..money,a ride..something!My little sister is the same way and I use to feel responsible for taking care of her since my mother is the way she is but now shes just as bad as my mother.Ive started getting better with saying no to them but when you want to move out of town away from them so you wont be bothered and taken advantage of then thats bad and thats how I feel!I dont see my other family and my gradma is dead..she was my everything for 25 years.

My family is a total mess (at least the extended family.) My grandma died 2 years ago and they have all been fighting for her $$, things and house since the second she past. I was really upset at first but talking things out with my dad have helped (he's always the voice of reason!)
My sister also struggles with sobriety. It's heartbreaking to watch since I feel like I raised her. I always try to let her know that I am here regardless of anything. I just hope she knows that!
