Why do families have to be so screwed up? I know that you don't get to choose your family but does that mean that they have to be dysfunctional? I don't know. I just know I am tired of going to visit my family and finding out about their latest problems and issues. I am also tired of the way they try not to tell me things like I'm a kid and can't handle it. I mean, I am 31 years old, and so completely not a child, you don't have to coddle me. I don't know anymore. I think I just don't want to go visit them for any length of time anymore. It just isn't worth it.
