Does anyone else have really depressing families? I don't mean abusive people or anything, but just sort of… "there".
>parents divorced when I was two; dad wasn't a great dude
>didn't really know him and he died when I was real young
>don't know any family on his side (and I don't want to)
>didn't leave me anything at all; didn't even get some sort of "goodbye" note or anything
>mom is and has always pretty much been a shut-in my whole life except for when she's at work
>is really fat (like 5'0" and at least 250lbs)
>all she does at home is watch bad reality TV, play sudoku
>she was nearly 41 when she gave birth to me
>I have no siblings; never had pets either
>wasn't really allowed outside unless it was for school as a kid; wasn't allowed to have people over either (still somehow wasn't a social outcast)
>whenever I wanted to do something with her (talk, play a board game, etc.) I was brushed off because she was watching something on TV
>have one first aunt (my moms sister obviously)
>she's literally like 61 and is still a total loser
>basically acts like a spoiled 16 year old half the time
>if my grandfathers favourite (why, I do not understand)
>lives in a house that pretty much is paid for by my grandparents
>drives a shitty car that is partially paid for by them
>doesn't really have any friends
>decently overweight, of course
>never married; never had kids (definitely good as she'd be a horrible mother)
>is cunty to my mother since she's jealous that she's done waaaay better in life
>grandparents are decently wealthy
>basically just sit around in their house all day
>grandpa never has really had friends that I can think of
>whenever I visit, he doesn't speak to me except for "goodbye" when I'm leaving
>grandmother goes out a bit (belongs to some seniors group that plays cards a few times per week)
>both have the sense of humour of a bowl of oatmeal
>give more attention to their cat than they do their family when they're around
>nearly incapable of accepting the notion that they're not right about things
>tl;dr
Anyone else with entire families that are just sort of dead inside and neglectful? I'm not crying over it or anything, but it's depressing when this has been all you've known for family. When I'm around other people and their families, it kind of hurts inside since they all seem like they're normal (yeah they fight and shit, but at least that means that they give a shit). Seriously, if I didn't have a few really great friends back in high school, I would have been weird as shit. And yes, I ended up fucking up my life hard post high school when they weren't around; now I'm back living at home.
