Well this entry is just something I have been thinking about lately with my family in town for my brothers wedding.
Basically I have nothing in common with my family. Yeah sure I grew up with them but that is where things end. Do I make the effort to spend time with them, feeling uncomfortable and singled out the whole time; or go about my normal life where I don't have any contact with them.
In a way I feel obligated to see them, but deep down inside I don't give a F@#$ about any of them. Even though they "accept" the new me that hasn't changed our distant relationship much.
I have had much different experiences in my life just as they have as well. I have nothing to say to any of them and my attempts at conversation usually fall flat.
Well anyway just some random thoughts.

Hi Audrey,
I was wondering if you were going to the wedding?
So you know, this is my first ever post - my ex-spouse (i can't say ex-husband anymore) is trans gender, and sent me a link to this site.
Do you feel like your relationship with your family always been distant?
