I been living in my apartment for 1.5 years. I have held down a job paid my bills have a car and never asked my family for anything yet its been 18 months * and counting* since I moved in and they have yet been to see me. Normally I would understand this being I lived hours away but I live 20 min away and that is driving slowly.
I come to understand that I'm the black sheep in my family. I'm 21 and I'm happy. I might not be doing what they think I should be doing and it pisses them off. I know it pisses then off when I come in sporting a new color hair, tattoo, peircing, eyeliner. But this is me, I like expressing myself. I'm an Art Major...THAT'S what I do! In 9 days I turn 22 and I'm still looked at like I'm that 8 year old boy refusing to take his medicine.
I'm not a little punk. I might look like I get into trouble but I speak 2 languges and learning a third, I play flute, violin and piano, taught myself how to knit along with numerous other artistic mediums.
I really do love my family through all the shit they put me through. Even though I
Hopefully I will find people i cna adopt as family...becasue they way I see it the one I have now needs brought in for repairs...

Do you need a big sister?
Sometimes I feel we are born into the wrong family, and we need to find our true family... wherever they are. That said, communication is a two-way street. You need to love them too. Keep your part of the door open. Never let it be said that you closed it. Keep making the phone calls, letting them know about all the good things going on for you -- and the down times too. Send the birthday/anniversary/holiday cards. Do this because you want to, not because you expect anything in return. If they ignore them, that is on their heads. But you did your duty, you made the effort, and that is all that matters in the end.
But if you need a family, we are all here -- and we won't ignore you!
You are absolutely wonderful! jeesh how cheesey do I sound but I mean it.. At least you are out there living your life. Everyone has to face up to the fact that we can't always please the family but have to please ourselves first because in the end we have to be happy with who we are and not with who they want us to be.
My favorite quote "Love me and love but me forever because god made me and never made another"
