I cannot talk to my family either. It feels like my husband is trying to take my kids from me by making me unfit and saying things to set me off all the time. I have major depression issues and he does not love me.

If biasness is your concern, then you must always consider going and meeting a person whom you do not know and vice versa i.e. a therapist. He/She can help you to cope with your concerns.

Talk to someone who wants to listen. Talk to a friend/family member/counselor/someone on here. Someone will help you. If you need anything, i am here.

I have this problem ever since I was little and until today. It always feel like a heavy burden to me, and i always feel so alone. But the greatest thing is i have someone who cares about me so much that he's willing to listen to my vents. And it helps a lot for me, to have someone who is willing to listen to me and help me figure out a way to rebuild myself and find my solutions. I hope this helps for you who need it as well :)

My dad has been verbally abusive to me in the past and it caused me to close myself off from him and a chain reaction ensued where I didn't trust anyone. I never understood at the time what a family was or its purpose. A family is there to support and love. And at times discipline and teach. Is your problem going to change the way your family views you?

There are two possible reasons why you can't. 1 - You don't want to, which is perfectly fine. It's your own life and your problems are personal, keeping them to yourself is ok. Unless they have to support you financially which then gets trickier. 2 - You worry they will not understand. That is also ok. Sometimes, people, can't understand some concepts even if they want to. The best way, if you want them to know your problems is to start introducing your problems to them gradually. See reaction and maybe continue to go deeper on them. No matter what you do, best of luck. Hope I helped.

I understand that it can be difficult at times to talk with your family. But there are many other people willing to listen to your problems!

It doesn't always necessarily have to be a family member you have to talk to. Its the person you trust the most.

Maybe you can talk to friends, or a listener on 7 cups of tea or maybe you can keep a diary to practice expressing your problems and feelings.

Confide in the people that support you and have your best interests at heart. Outsiders always seem to understand more.

I understand that, for some reason, that doesn't seem possible right now. Who do you think you can talk to?

Sometimes the people you care about the most are the hardest to talk to. Have you thought about talking to a friend, or someone from 7 cups of Tea, or a pastor?

If you have not already, let your family know that this bothers you very much that you cannot express how you feel to them. If it still persists, then, seek guidance from a close friend. A therapist is another great option, too, to vent. Best wishes. - Nate
