Family takes care of family...yeah right?
my dad is mad at me for some stupid reason and he called and cussed me out over it. I called my mom crying (they are divorced) and now she's mad at him. I believe my step mother is evil. My grandmother (dad's mom) raised me and always told me family takes care of family and as long as she had a place to live, so would I. Well, that all turned out to be a lie. Since my dad and I haven't talked in a month, she's become very distant too and we were very close. Now my husband, our son and I are being evicted from our apt. and I asked her if we could stay with her for a couple weeks til we found a place. She said no. I was devestated. If it were just me and my son I believe she would've said yes. My entire family hates my husband and they have no reason too. I've been told he isn't even welcome at Christmas! Therefore I won't be going this year either. I'm just heartbroken. I thought I had a close knit family and now I never want to talk to them again. What do you think?

it seems they are abandoning you. that's a shame. they may not like your husband, but you are their family. i would feel the way you feel. but, you have to get on with your world and the family you created. don't worry about the family you came from. just worry for your own family. get out there and find a place and learn to rely on yourself and the family you made. show to the family you came from, you don't need their help. let them see you can succeed. you didn't need them and, maybe, they shouldn't count on you to help them succeed in their future needs - remember, sometimes, what goes around, comes around. so just be concerned on how you can help contribute to the family you made. good luck. i hope all works out well for you, your husband and your son.

Even though it would be impossible to include all the details of this situation there are a few very important details that you have left out...deliberately. Your family loves you....and not your husband. Your husband is unable to keep a roof over your head right now. I have a feeling that your family has some good reasons to dislike him...and I bet it has to do with how he is living up to his responsibilities to you and your children. If he truly loves you , he will want you to go to your family until he can provide for you. I think in the overall picture of things.....your family will always be there for you.....this man will not. Your family thinks he is not good enough for you.

I know you will think I am crazy but if you all don't have any other place to go, maybe for temporary if your husband has a friend or family member of his own that just he could stay with and you and your child could stay with your family just till you all get back on your feet then maybe you should do that...I have been homeless hunny, so please do what you have to, if your husband and you love each other a little separation won't hurt at all. Do what you have to for the child first and foremost. I would never recommend splitting up your family unless its just for temporary and in the best interest of the kids involved. God Bless you!

I feel your pain as my family has outed me for god knows what reason. I am adoptted and found my bio family as my adopted family went a stray however my morals are family takes care of family...anyhow, I have had a relastionship with my bio family for 10 years and couldn't be happier it had its ups and downs however for no apprarent reason they cut all ties with me, my kids and my hubby. They post pictures on the internet of family gatherings. I am at a point in my life that I just shrug it off. There is no point being upset as I see it as their loss. Sure it still hurts however I got tired of being sad and I am thankful for my family under my roof and that is what keeps me going

I think that sucks. Family should stick together. I am sorry they are treating you like that. Do you think it is mainly because of the argument with your dad or is it more because of your husband? They are wrong not to accept your husband. I guess they think it is worth not seeing you or your son?
This is sad for you. i don't blame you for not wanting to talk to them again.

well first off i would like to know why your family does not like your husband?
ask one of your brothers or sisters if you have any if you could stay with if they also do not like you then ask one of your friends or one of your husband friends.
also after you get back on your feet try to patch things up with your family try to work things out cause at the end of the day family really matters
