its gunna be ok

be strong and self-dependent.... millions have had bad families.... not everyone commits suicide but the weak... u should give yourself positive messages.... come on

dont look for your luv unless u have gained your self-esteem then your family cant affect anything

avoid hard drugs at all times they are of no long term help

get yourself together and make a plan for your life.... what u wanna be... your family will be gone at some point in your life... so their effects on you should'nt stay at all... try to be independent thats the only way

find good friends/avoid drugies - real good friends are not easy to find... so be positive and try to be yourself with high confidence and hopefully u'll find some friends....

haha funny thing is that i've had more than 100 friends in 4 years of being in states.... now i have 0

u know why? they only looked cool but were really not! and im way happier now than i was with them despite what i was thinking in the past 4 years!

at last a person is born alone and will die by him/herself.... so u should be able to gain control of your life by yourself.... get some professional help from family consultants... they usually help

Hi jo_1982

Well, I hope you live a bit longer. You got me kind of interested. Should I ask why your mother took your sister? Was she older or younger than you. Did you all have the same father?

Putting up with in-laws is really tough for some people. I'm lucky with mine. But even if they were really bad, I wouldn't leave after just two years!

I know you're heart-broken, and that ain't easy. At times when things looked worst for me, and that's been more than one time!, I kept telling myself over and over again, all through the day, "This too shall pass." It was the only thing I could do. I couldn't see any other hope. That helped me keep my head just barely above water till the tide receded a little and I could feel a little solid ground under my feet once again.

So, you keep treading. I know the water's cold and endless looking. But once you're at the bottom, there's nowhere to go but up. Hope really is "around the corner."

Hi seabird thanks for your message as for my sister she was the middle one of the 3 of us we do all have the same farther i dent blame my mother anymore i understand now what she had to put up with from my family no one should have to deal with the way they treat people i am really low but one of my ex's who i am still very close to is helping me deal with things the best he can between me and his girlfriend and his job the poor guy will be worn out lol just hope i can get pass this things wouldnt have been so bad if he had told me he had enough and maybe we could have sorted something out

Thank you for your reply and support it means alot to me that there are people out there that care

I can't tell you how lucky you are to have an ex willing to help you. My first spouse divorced me, then I had a friend like a spouse, now I'm married. A couple years ago, I found out where the friend was, made contact, and was so happy to see willingness to "reconcile." Didn't even have to talk about past problems. Friends again. Tried to do same with first spouse, doesn't want to talk with me. No divorce is healthy, but a divorce where the two parties can at least talk to each other is about a trillion million times better than one where a spouse totally shuts out the other. Even in divorce, it's important to do things friendly.

I'm glad you have enough of a good relationship that you ex is helping you.

Hi i understand how you feel maybe the best thing for you to do is come clean to your family about your bf and let them no how much you love each other and want to be together they maybe understanding you cant help who you fall in love with you must go with your heart and do what makes you happy your family can not live your life for you ask them if they want you to be happy .

as for your brothers wife tell her to stop being so lazy and get up off her bk side and help out as she is now apart of the family good luck please let me no how things go for u

Hi just to keep everyone updated the best thing you can do if you feel as low and down as i have been is to see your family gp and tell them how your feeling like i did and they have given me pills to help with the depression and see me every week now so there is light after all thanks to everyone that has left messages of support .

Hi JUst another update to let everyone no i'm doing better i still see my GP once a week and the pill's are working great i still have alot of problems going on in my life and i'm dealing with them now so from here on the only way is up i guess if anyone reads this who is feeling depressed just head for your GP as soon as you can they are there to help let them no how your feeling and thanks to everyone who has replyed to me if anyone wants to chat feel free to pm me

keep going girl you are alot stronger then you think to have made it through that so treat every day as a new one and enjoy yourself.

Hi thanks for the message your right i am stronger then i think and i'm glad i have got this far i have learned so much along the way and its made me a better person i owe so much to one of my ex's hes been a real rock of support with everything that been going on some good has come out of this its made me and him alot closer and we are like best mates now i dont think i would have got as far as i have without him or my GP so now i'm just taking each day as it comes and i'm trying to put my life back together as hard as it is to do that but i will get there one day thanks to everyone on here who has sent me replys also

Could you PM me? Ive suffered similar to you and it may surprise you how alike our situations are. Ive struggled for such a long time and am finding new ways that work without meds to help myself. It always helps to have support. Im sure I can help u in so manyways. Especially when u feel alone and have no one to talk to, and like no cares. I wanna help u, b/c no one helped me.
