		<description>I also thank TVAL for what was shared. I understand and I have moved on because, you want to stay and let it roll away but for some reason, many that bully love the fighting and anger. I don&#039;t understand,*!? But, I stopped trying to figure out why.</description>

		<description>Catherine is telling the truth. I have went through a whole lot of painful (quietly) for years upon finding out that I wasn&#039;t the child of one of my parents. Well, it didn&#039;t matter to me; I just love them anyway. But over the months and years, I realize that it truly mattered to this parent. The things that this parent said, say and did and does has and did make my mouth hang open. But, I continued to forgive and show that I just love you. 
The parent continue to get worse. In the year of 2004, I lost one parent and since it has been worse. Now, instead of the mistreatment from one parent; its now a whole extended family (lying the works). I continued to go around until 2009.Yes, it was hard to do but, when I was present and there it was worse. I really thought I was LOVED....</description>

		<description>I do feel for everyone who has commented here and for those who have read and not commented.
I have suffered from Family prejiduces because of who my parents are. 
There is no winning for losing.  Once a group or someone pigeon holes you, UNFORTUANELY...There generally is no way of turning them around.  I know I have tried and wated 27 years trying.  I have looked up and researched..bullying, mobbing...be it at work or in the family.   The only thing that works is the hardest thing to do....LEAVE.
Rumors, gossip, lies, name calling, put downs etc.
It will not stop, and it is unjustified.
My son and I moved and are starting over in a new State and City.  It is hard.  But, there really is no other way.  Most people will not admit to wrong doing.  They will down play it at best.  They will always twist it that you are overly sensitive to their abuse.
The only way to stop it is to get away from it.
We have joined a very nice Church and are making it our new Family.  We know to be careful of certain personalities and to avoid them.
Go where you are celebrated...not where you are tolerated.
It is lonely at first, but you must be strong and courageous.  You will not change others...and if they had a heart they would not be abusive or hurtful in the first place.  In your heart, you know this.  Hope reigns eternal...(YES) but you must realize that without your sanity, you are not good even to yourself.  And abusive people are crazy makers and you can NOT beat them at their own game...ESPECIALLY if you are out numbered.

Move and rebuild carefully.  It may sound unreal...but it is the only way to preserve your sanity and HEAL.
I tried to talk to my Family about the hurtful gossip and psycho analizing....but it did no good.  It is a Family tradition and there have even been suicides...still no one wants to change the hurtful game of denial and picking people apart and creating stories to back up their behaviour.
Long story short...look up bullying and mobbing, you will see that there really is no stopping it...just getting away from it and starting over.

Advice..Pick the people you allow to be close to you carefully.  Healing is hard...but, possible! But only by getting away from it.

Please do your research and do not waste your time trying to change people...</description>

		<description>My brother has always been allowed to control our family. Whatever he says, goes. Whatever he wants, he gets. He has stolen money, he has sold drugs, he has never worked a day in his life. The worse part is that he is so arrogant about how successful he is, and my parents always protect him whenever anyone tries to point out that he is nothing more than a liar. I have avoided, will have to continue to avoid family gatherings to avoid the sick feeling when he starts picking. If I show up, he makes a point of starting something. The sad thing is, his own son is so much like him...wonder if it is not genetic?</description>

		<description>i dont know whether im feeling sorry for myself or what, but for a long time my family have been making me feel very small so i lack alot of confidence, i mean dont get me wrong they do and give me alot of things but they use that against me alot of the time ... i try and sort things out with them and it just ends in an argument. my brother gets away with what feels like everything, he is the elder one and he has struggled a bit through life but he loves nothing better than seeing what i have to go through with my family always being made to feel in superior to them. so of course my brother feeds off that whenever he can to get my parents support to make me worse. im suffering from depression really quite badly and i am four months pregnant and it was also another thing i got pressured into by them, if i didnt keep it i got chucked out... i dont know what to do anymore im scared and i jus want things to change. i just feel  like it must be my fault all the time but i dont know anymore...</description>

		<description>empowerment of men over women never works, neither does falsely formed new relationships, children become displaced, confused and lose their sanctity of peace, nurturing and fundamental rights to life, when a father leaves a relationship to endeavour in other romantic pursuits, the child left behind feels emotionally responsible for their own mothers, siblings not to mention financial income, its called being dumped and in my experience the father who did try to take-over inadvertently broke a bone in my neck - sickly, back damage, near paralysis and awkward gait not to mention stength of holding up ones head, so please dont expect any recompensence of sorror over ones mental relations, unfortunately for them the victims ie. the children grow up and unless youre completely dumb should hide your arse and KEEP OUT of no-go zones and that includes getting bodily parts stuck in virginal females.</description>
