do u resent any of your family members?

[keissy2000]

my aunt did my brother wrong a couple of years back about the situation with him renting her houses on her property. i think she went about wrong and immature. she's supposed to love her nephew and not down him all the time and talk about him behind his back to other family members like our grandma. grandma thinks she did it all wrong too.

Yes my Stepson!
He has stolen from me on several occasions. I'll never trust him again!

[ashleyisrad]

Yeah, I have resentment towards my Aunt, also. She's done my Dad wrong for many years. She's also done some heinous things to me and my Mom. She's just pure evil... her life revolves around money.

Maybe not so much "resent" but having issues with my only brother.  After my mom passed away 6 years ago his wife told him to have nothing to do with me.  Neither my mom or father liked her.  (My father passed away in 92') She is a very self centered person.  My mom was diagnosed with cancer and couldn't take care of herself so I moved her in with me and my family.  I took care of her until the end.  My brother and sister n law wanted me to put her in a nursing home.  I really don't know why because they NEVER did anything to help me with mom.   My husband was deployed to Kuwait 2 weeks before my mom died.  My husband had asked my brother to please help me while he was gone.  Well that never happened!   My mom passed away on Mothers Day 2005!   My brother, sister-n-law, nieces, and nephew haven't spoke to me since!

yep. I cannot stand my brother. He's my mom's favorite. It must be nice to sit on your butt and do nothing every single day and get handed anything you want on a silver platter.

I think everyone feels a little resentment towards family members at some point. I know I've felt resentment towards both of my sisters. It seemesd like my parents were always more willing to look after their kids all the time, and I basically had to beg them to watch my son for the occasional over night. I actually let it build up to the point that we were all at my parents house, and my oldest sister said something about me being the youngest and a spoiled brat(which believe me, I'm not, nor have I ever been). Well, that one comment set me off on an hour long *bleep* out towards everyone in my family. Since then, things improved drastically. My advice, to you, giv'em hell with both barrels. It will definitely clear the air. It may also cause a huge rift. Fortunately for me, it changed for the better. No one had realized that I had been having these feelings. It may cause hurt feelings and anger from them towards you, but in the end you will feel better for yourself. Keeping it bottled up for too long can cause strain in your other relationships.

Oh yea big time, I was taking care of my mother 24 hrs a day who was dying of cancer, my brother and sister and their grown kids came against me big time - now they were not staying in touch with my mom or helping with her but they did some really crappy stuff because my mom made me trustee over her estate.  I will get over it one day but I don't know that we'll ever be able to have a relationship.  I doubt they are worried about that because once they heard from their lawyer that they couldn't do anything about the way my mom set up her stuff legally I haven't heard from either one of them.  They got more than my mother wanted them to have so they better be thanking their lucky stars but they are both selfish and greedy so I'm sure they aren't thankful for anything.

I've resent my younger sister because it seemed like when we were young we always fought over anything. When i was hit by a truck in 1978, I was 8 yrs old & when I came out of the coma, I didn't know me or anybody. I had to relearn evrything. I was smarter than her b4 the accident close to genius level. She took that advantage to put me down every time. Called me stupid, half brain,dumb-dumb.When, I was held back because, I didn't make the grade level I'm suppose to be according to my age. I was even more upset. How would you feel if in front of your peers you were taken out of the class & send back to first grade. So, i was stuck with my younger sister. People thought we were twins. & my mom would dress us alike, she wanted twins. I hated it & we had to share a room while my older sister had her own room. So, through school yrs I've endured my younger sister's scorn. I never felt like an older sister ever growing up with her. She also get into the advance classes & me I'm in the regular classes with the not too smart & not too dumb group. What do you expect after having half of your brains splattered all over the street; it's a wonder, I'm not a vegetable living off of life support.Waking up not knowing who you are, waking up in an 8yr old body.Wandering who the hell you are & never regaining the memories can really shot your confidence down into a black hole. Now, as adults we are polite. I'm always, weary when we get together which is rare. She has a daughter who just turned 7 yrs. in Aug. I love my niece but i haven't put any effort to get to know her so, it's like niece & aunt uncomfortable situation. Sometimes when, I get a flashback of the yrs of Hell w/her, I think, how would she feel if her child was hit by a car & rendered a vegetable for life? I would never wish that on any child but for me, it would be poetic justice. My mom, she's betrayed me so many times, I've stopped counting. Love her but will never trust her again! Like the theme on X-Files...."TRUST NO ONE"

I'm not so much resentful toward any family members as I am "hurt" by one particular one.  I have a mother that never could be nice unless she wanted something.  She tries to control and manipulate everyone.  She's verbally abusive and I've been keeping my distance from her because she will never change and I'm tired of being upset by her all the time.  The mean remarks and insults---noone has to put up with anyone that upsets them all the time.  There are hurtful, insensitive, cruel remarks that she's recently made that I just can't get out of my head...I've forgiven her for them but the hurt will always be there.  I just hope that I NEVER hurt anyone ever with my words the way she has hurt me.

i hate my fathers sister. i wont even call her my aunt. lets just say she picks the bones

[munitono]

It's sad to say this but every relatives on my dad's side. They are just mean people.

I have a similar mother situation as Sheryl.  I do have one younger sister who has always tried to turn my mother against me.  since she was already mean and spiteful, it didn't take much.  I finally had to distance myself from her, for my sanity.  All my sister did was whine if she called me and ask for things.  Mother gave it all to her.  At the end, my mother died at age 101, leaving her considerable estate to my sister.  I was cut out of the will.  That was not unexpected.  My mothr also said some very cruel things about me that were not true.  As Sheryl said, I can forgive, but cannot ever forget some of them.  After he death, my sister kept calling me asking for me to take her places and whining about missing mother.  She has seven kids and I live about an hour away from her.  I decided I was not going to start running her around.  When she could not get me to do her bidding, she finally stopped calling.  It is a shame not to have a relationship with my sister, but I have never had a relationship with her.

My brother and I were best friends during high school and college. Then I got married and my ex husband did something and my brother wouldn't talk to me for about 10 years. I missed my best friend. We have worked through our problem but still don't have that relationship that we had before. I think that as long as you make the effort then the rest will follow. I never gave up on out relationship and we are friends now.
