Not a family anymore.
My family is not a family anymore. I don't know what happened. My parents got a divorce that was finalized December 31. My sister picks her boyfriend over everyone who doesn't do a thing for her, her son or his other son by a different woman, he cheats on her yet she defends him. My mom is a verbally abusive alcoholic who gets nasty with everyone when she is drinking and my dad feels the need to be in control of everything, my brother just stays away. I'm sorry I'm rambling but I just don't know what to do anymore. I've lost my family and idk how to try and fix it. I'm always the one to fix everything and I just can't fix this. It's tearing me down slowly.

I just feel like my world fell apart. My sisters boyfriend just talked crap about my children and she doesn't even care. Like who involves kids into a family issue. I've decided to step away from all of them at this point in time. It's depressing the crap out of me and making me angry at my SO for no reason, he doesn't deserve for me to lash out on him when all he wants to do is help. My family is just broken.

You sound like me. I always wanted to "fix" things. Especially when it came down to my family. It really took a toll on my life and to the point it consumed me.
I realized that I couldn't "fix" or change anything nor anyone. I had to put MY family first (my husband, children, and even myself).
I've been in your shoes before and I know exactly what it feels like. I'm sorry your going through this. I just had to take a step back and realize, they are who they are. Its up to them to fix/change themselves.
It was hard in the beginning, but, after I made peace with the fact that I needed to focus on myself, things changed. I was a lot happier. Good luck to you. I hope it gets easier. ?

Stepping away is a very mature decision . Although you love them & want to help, it is a toxic thing you should distance yourself from. The others are right- focus on your little family & don't worry so much about the others. Things will start looking up for you soon & the rest will eventually work itself out one way or another. Good for you for realizing what you need to do. Its hard but worth it.
