Ironically it was my dad who, outside of a few aunts, and a cousin, did not ignore me (I reported him for abuse).
One day they may try to seriously befriend me since I am the family genealogist, and a professional researcher. Too bad for them, because I am not their doormat anymore. Years ago I would have done anything to share my research with them, because I thought that since we were family, they felt the same way towards me. I was stupid. I did not realize that if they cannot take from me I am of no use to them, and it is mostly money and/or prestige my brother wants. He already took my inheritance. When I was in HS they took my money from work, in college they took my prom dresses (sister-in-law & her sisters), my dolls & toys for their children, he stole my music (hundreds of dollars worth), things my grandmother left me, and since my father died he has refused to send me any of my property. My younger brother, and I would probably be friends if he were not an alcoholic. He has shut out everyone. For once they need to give something in return, because the "we're family" reason is not enough anymore, and I know they will not do it.
Sometimes family just sucks. This is one reason I despise TSCC's glorification of family, and how they force people to go to them for help. It is traumatic to be forced to go to people who repeatedly reject you.
When resigning, they didn't want to remove my name too, because they thought I was a good person. I tried to explain that being a good person had nothing to do with believing in gawd. I am the same person, just not deluded.
I am not recovered though, because I have other issues with TSCC, and my family issues are mostly separate, and not LD$ issues.
