Title: Hmmm acceptance. Part II
Post by: Audrey on June 20, 2008, 04:15:38 PM
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?
