Some of us have legitimate reasons to hate our relatives a couple of weeks ago I finally told my grandmother the truth that I do not like visiting the relatives in her home country. Growing up I was not allowed to express any anger or upset about anything if I did i got into so much trouble as result I have so much resentment and unresolved pain which is now showing in my 20s. My grandmother called me a sinner and how God gave us these relatives for a reason.

Visiting my relatives in my parents home country is the one thing in the world that makes me so miserable because they are terrible people who bring problems to other peoples lives. I know it sounds evil but I loved the pandemic because i didn't have to see my relatives anymore due to the strict travel restrictions the UK government imposed on my parents home country because it meant never seeing these people. I cried when the travel restrictions ended.

My grandmother and mother love these arsehole relatives and value their approval. I will always hate my relatives because there where never there for my mother when she was struggling as a single mum when I was born. These people knew my mum was struggling but none of these relatives cared. My family tree is huge with multiple cousins, aunties and uncles and my grandmother was helping the relatives with their problems even financially. When my household had problems NONE of these people's helped in our hour of need.

January was the worst spending a month seeing my awful relatives. I was so happy during the pandemic when there was a travel ban imposed on my parents home country because it meant never seeing these people. My grandmother said mother love these arsehole relatives and value their approval. I will always hate my relatives because there where never there for my mother when she was struggling as a single mum when I was born. These people knew my mum was struggling but none of these relatives cared. My family tree is huge with multiple cousins, aunties and uncles and my grandmother was helping the relatives with their problems.

My relatives are 100% to blame for my problems in my life. My relatives made me feel like an outsider as a teenager due to their gossiping about me and looking down upon me for not being traditional like them. I struggle immensely with identity and belonging because of my own blood relatives excluding me first.

Being the first born child i had deal with my mother always getting stressed about work and always taking out on me. Life would have been easier if my relatives helped and supported. It sickens me so much their fake nice behaviour when they have never been there nor cared.

My family household would have been so much richer if my grandmother and mother were not always giving money to help these people. I will always hate my relatives it's because of them I had to take student loan for university because my mother and grandmother had no money left for me. As a teenager my mother was always dealing with relatives and their problems I got left out.

There is nothing wrong with hating relatives...
We don't get to pick our relatives, so it makes no sense why we have to get along with them just because we're related.
Ignore/cut off contact with any family members who abuse and shame you if you can.

I never really understood the whole, respecting the bonds of family and relatives.
I personally haven't spoken to anyone in my family in years.
If you wouldn't keep that person around as a friend or partner why keep them around because they're family?
They weren't there for you when you needed them most, and now you're expected to be friendly with them afterward and it's ridiculous.
Sorry you have relatives who aren't appreciative of you.
I wish at least your grandmother and mother would understand, but knowing family they likely never will.

I feel ya, when my parents went through divorce due to my dads psychological instability (alcoholism, attempted robbery...), my mom had to take care of me and my sister by herself while paying for my dads attempted robbery and debts.
She was blamed by my dads relatives, and received no support. Of course they still wanted to see their grandson every now and then, but now I can't even stay in a call for more than 1 minute with them.
Luckly we are now stable financially, we even were able to buy a house. Have no reason to go back there anymore.

@cutejellybean Exactly I think it's bullshit being forced to have a relationship with other people just because we share some dna. All throughout my life the people who have cared for me the most are the people who are not biologically related to me.

I have had people in my neighborhood, church community and former teachers care more about my wellbeing and how I am doing than my own blood relatives. The people in my church care more for my grandmother than her own blood relatives.

I have made my plans on how I want nothing to do with my relatives in my parents home country. When my grandmother dies I make sure she will be buried in the UK. I know my grandmother will be upset as she loves her home country.

No way I am a letting those selfish arseholes near her grave. My grandmother's siblings in her home country they do not even clean or vist their dead mothers grave. In January this When my mother visited the grave where her grandmother was buried there was overgrown grass, mud over the grave. It was very clear nobody visited the grave

They all live close to place where she is buried. In the future there is no way I am letting my grandmother be buried in such a place around awful people. This is my way of telling my relatives to fuck off.

@ArchmagePrincess According to my grandmother it is because the bible told her, how it is a blessing from God having relatives and how everything happens for a reason. I believe in a God just like she does but I refuse to believe in that bullshit appens for a reason and I have every right to hate my relatives and owe them nothing.

The world is a mysterious place and the events of the world can not be explained through the simple belief of everything happens for a reason. Our family just ended up with these blood relatives because genetics is a random lottery. My relatives choose to be arseholes. Since my relatives choose to be arseholes people are free to choose who we can have in our lives.

My grandmother and mother get shocked that I don't love my relatives like they do. What were they expecting to happen really. Parents need to understand when children grow up hearing and seeing how horrible their relatives are towards their parents and grandparents it is inevitable those children will hate their relatives.

@Solek Awww virtual hug and I am glad things worked out for you and your mother 🫂 🤗

My father too is an absolute piece of shit, supreme arsehole and just a pathetic excuse of a man.

It's awful how in this world many people are so incredibly cruel and insensitive, your feelings towards those people are very much understandable.
