My Relationship With My Family

Improved Essays
When I was a child I would love to enjoy spending time with my family. As I started getting older the more I realized that my life wasn’t complete. At the time that I was turning 6 years old, I had noticed that the relationship with my dad’s side of the family wasn’t so great. Many individuals from the family would ignore or treat me and my family as if we were scum. Since I was a small child it didn’t mean much to me, because I was all about games and kid stuff. I did have some great times for which I will not mention, because this is not the common happy, life lifting stories that you usually read. This story is about sadness, hatred, and treason filled with anger and sorrow.
It all started in one autumn morning at my grandfather’s birthday, when my family and I went to his house to give him his gift. As we were heading towards his home we started noticing that there were several vehicles parked along my grandparents gate as well as in the side of the road. While we started getting closer we heard the sound of music and enjoyment piercing through our ears, the sound of a festive celebration that was being held at my grandparents home. Once we got to his

The thought that my grandmother never liked me made me realize that even your own blood can betray you; although, that horrible lady is my grandma there is nothing I can do to change it. I used to love her with all my heart, but now due to that sudden twist in her wrongful mind my feelings for her changed into wanting to tell her the damage she caused my family and I. Sometimes I feel like letting all my anger out on her, but I won’t because I don’t want to turn into the same person that she is by not doing so it makes me feel like I’m a better person. I might have my defects and I know I am not perfect, but deep inside me there is still a very small amount of love that I have towards my

    She was a person I used to look up to and who had caused a huge deception in my family. To me it was an event that I would only expect to see in a typical movie or a soap opera or a movie about family rivalry. The pain that especial person cause and to think that she was so cold hearted and to not think how many people she would harm with her lies made me think that this chapter of pain would never end. It was an event where I would question myself if it would ever end and what have I done wrong to deserve this hatefulness from my own family. I had lost the respect from my family for something I had not done.…

    They turned my strong feelings of love into hatred. The dilemma of forgiving my aunt just because she was dying did not seem fair to me. Why would I forgive her just so she can “move on” or feel better about dying? I do not care if she goes to hell because of the mistakes she has done against and without I deserved a sincere apologize I will not grant her forgiveness. I was constantly told I was wrong for not forgiving her and that it was a selfish thing but this is what was best for me.…

    When thinking of a major event that may have affected my life in some way, I think I would have to say was growing up without my biological father and him not being a part of my life. I know I am not the only girl that grew up without a father and I hate using that excuse of me being the way I am, but because of him not playing the role of my father or any role at that it made me strong minded, but it also made me feel at times unwanted and fear of being rejected. I feel this affected me because although I had enough love from my mom, I still felt a part of me was missing. I remember my dad would make every excuse in the book on why he wasn’t able to see me or come pick me up for the weekend. My mom never depended on him for anything, she always gave him an open door policy.…

    For a while there seemed to be more fights then I was used to but now that I’m older I realize it’s just that my dad wasn’t home often so so I just never really heard them fight. Once they had both gotten used to everything things were great. My dad was home to watch me play sports, to visit my bother and sister, and to help my mom with things she couldn’t have done on her own. While there are a lot of good things that happened after my brother died I’m sure everyone in my family would agree that we would trade it all to have him back. We all know that’s not how it works and are grateful that we all get to be together and learned to cope with what happened.…

    I wasn't bothered at all, but I knew I could have been happier. I also wasn't in very good touch with my emotions, I was pretty shy and not very willing to talk to most people about how I felt. These problems started to become smaller and smaller as I got older, but they really affected me until a couple of years ago. In eighth grade I got more interested in athletics and socializing. I began to come out of my shell more and became less reluctant to talk to my classmates.…

    When I would get upset with my father, he would never know about it. If he had some inclination of us feeling down or upset, he would brush it off. My mother was different, she didn’t like to hear us complain or be disrespectful, but would not turn us around when we came with a problem. One of her favorite quotes was “Everything has a solution, except death”. I took a lot from this way of thinking.…

    Once I started college, I still had the luxury of living at home with the support of my parents, however, I had the opportunity to become more independent. It was my job to select course, to meet with professors and counselors, and to get myself to and from class. Community college slowed down the transition process, so too many changes did not happen too quickly. I do not think I would have gotten through the year as successfully if I had gone away to…
