You know, sometimes I just want to scream at them that they are part of the reason I am like this!

I once again am reading betweeen the lines but I think your family is responsible for much of your unhappiness. Whether intentional or not it is obvious a lot of damage was done. Because of this I think you may have been searching for an identity for a lot longer than you should have.
However you are now an adult and while it may hurt a lot you have to resolve family issues for your own health and future.
Burning bridges though should be the last result so I think you have really to try and sit family down and say you want to talk to them on adult terms. Explain how you feel they made you feel and point out initially that you are purely expressing your feelings. If you can find common ground, good and say to them lets develop this. If you cant then it is time to make the break for good and get out into the real world and meet new friends. I know I have said this before to others but I would suggest you join a befriending service for the elderly and I guarantee that if you just be yourself you will soon meet non judgemental people who will seem like the mum and dad you never really had. If you want help in knowing what to say when you meet people then PM me but I think it is such a pity that someone so talented as you is made to feel small and insignificantWho I am is not important. What I do is.0 -

whats happened hun?
(((big hugs)))
The police came around this evening for the 3rd time in 3 weeks!
First time was with the ambulance after my suicide attempt, second time the police got the wrong house (they wanted next door) and this time they came around because someone had raised concerns about my mental state.
I am such a screw up.

I've tried many times AB, but they denied hurting and abusing me and said I was twisted. I have proof that they did abuse me. The memories are enough, as is all the masses of paperwork I have dating back to when I was a mere baby stating everything that happened.
I want to cut all ties with them but I don't want to hurt them. I know that sounds weird but even though many have hurt me, I don't want to hurt them n return.
I have someone who is like a mum to me - well two people really, Nikki and Sheenaugh. I met Sheenaugh in hospital though and as far as I know she is still in there but she called me her adopted daughter whilst I was in there.
Nikki has the same disorders as me and understands me where others have failed to and is never short of a hug or two for me. She's nurturing.
I really don't know about talented AB. I just do what I do because I enjoy it.

sorry to hear about the police
hope you are feeling a bit better?
My day has been spend in bed, day off and I hate days off, with no one to share them with and nothing to do, so I do... nothing.
I'm going out tonight with a work colleague, I was going to get out of it (as I usually do, antisocial beyond belief, I am), and I thought my on off boyfriend was going to come over (2 hours away) cos he's not working, but he told me the other day that he now may come on Saturday instead, so I thought sod it, I'm going out, see what that brings. Trouble is they don't go out til late, so not til about half 9, at which time I would usually be thinking about settling down to sleep!0 -

Yeah, but sometimes I wish they'd leave me to get on with it.lol.
They all keep insisting I talk to them....like what can they do? They can't do anything so now I give up on talking because they all just sit there and nod silently in a condescending manner anyway.2019 Wins
