Let's see where do I start. Well here goes:

Basically my grandmother married a man who had an attitude similar to my mother's. My mother obviously took after him. Now my Grandmother on the other hand is kind, honest, peace loving, and tries to take care of everyone.

My Grandmother and her husband did not get along very well and neither did my Grandmother and my mom for the same reasons.

Anyways when my mother got older she became a rebel of sorts as a teenager. She was kicked out of school for smoking pot there and dropped out completely after that. She got pregnant with my oldest sister at a young age and this oldest sister of mine is just like our mother. Later she would give birth to another older sister of mine who was more like me in personality.

She divorced their father and later married my dad. I was their first born, later my little sister would follow soon after.

Now my mother let my older sisters smoke pot, do drugs, drink, smoke, things like that at a young age.

The oldest sister dropped out of school just like my mom. The other older sister stayed in school and graduated. She later got back in church and was doing the right things. She met this guy who was in prison and led him to become a christian and once he got out she was going to marry him and start a family.

Well one day she went with my my oldest sister one day and dropped her off at a store, the oldest one was drunk that day. Anyways the good older sister was driving that day and only 10 minutes after dropping the bad sister off her blood sugar got low (She was a diabetic) and ended up a terrible car crash that took her life.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Going back a few years my mother and sisters and my father for awhile would drink in front of me and my little sister and do stuff in front of us like that. Well I hated all of that filth and so I often fought with them and argued and stuff.

My dad changed and hasn't done anything like that for over 10 years. He and I are very close.

However my mother talks to him like he's trash.

My mother has always been the rebelious type. She lives on a disability check (Cause she convinced the doctors to say she's crazy or something) and she still does drugs and drinks and married some other loser recently.

Anyways my mother believes she can do whatever she wants and doesn't have to oney rules or laws. She's selfish, she thinks she never does anything wrong, ect.

As the years went in and I got older our arguments and fights became more intense. This led to me eventually leaving and moving in with my Grandmother about 5 years ago.
--------------------------------------------------------
My oldest sister was raped by this guy when she was 16, got pregnant and gave birth to my nephew. He went to jail, was released years later and she married him again and is living with him. She tries to act like a mother to my nephew but she's more of a child than anything. She's 30 years old, doesn't have a job, doesn't have an eduction, and draws a disability check.

She constantly fights with her husband and comes over here to my grandmother's house all the time. She's also diagnost with bi polar too.

Everytime she or my mom got in jail my grandmother being the kind hearted person she was would bail them out instead of letting them get punished. This led to them walking all over her which they still do today.
-------------------------------------------------------------
There is more I could tell you that they have done but this is enough for now and I will tell you all more if you want me too.

Now i'm not like them. I have always had a sense of justice and I believe the law and rules are to always be obeyed unless in the most extreme of circumstances. This puts me in direct contrast with them and thus often times confrantations.

As I have gotten older my anger and resitment toward them has grown. Now I feel a deep hatred toward them. I have let this hatred bring me to the point where I have changed personality wise. I'm more cruel and uncaring now, more selfish too. Things I have never been before.

You see my belief is that everyone who is evil is supposed to be punished. Since I have never seen them punished then I believe justice hasn't been done. Therefore the very thought of this drives me crazy. How can such a thing be? I find myself asking.

Instead of seeking comfort from people, I find myself seeking power, approval, and my own hatred as comforts. The only person I really find comfort in is my girlfriend, but she is younger than me and is more child like than myself, it's hard for her to understand my feelings about this and I don't blame her of course. She makes me happy.

But I just can't let go of the hate. When I let myself ignore my morals and beliefs and be selfish or do things I wouldn't normally do it feels great. It feels exciting to ignore the concerns and well being of others and do thing simply for myself or because I want to.

I'm seeing a therapist about this and she says I need to change and let go of the feelings, to move on and forget about it. But I don't get why I should do anything? I'm the good one. Why should I, the victim, have to do anything or change anything? I was right to begin with. It's my sister and mother who should be punished. Not me, so why must I change?

I already gave up my child hood, and now I'm supposed to give up my anger and hate? I'm tired of giving things up. I want to take all I can. I want it all to be mine. I want to be selfish and mean. Evil and cruel. I want to be able to hurt people without feeling any remorse. I want to make people fear me and not care about what they think. Sometimes I feel like I want to be on top of the world and have it as my play ground and all the people as just tools for me to break. To let go of all moral restraints and be as cruel and evil as I possibly can. To finally spit in everyone's faces and gain incredible authority and power. To rule over everything. To make people bow before me like dogs bowing to their master. This is how I feel sometimes now.

I keep having to give up things, so when will I get to take what I want. I want to be able to claim as much as I can to be mine. I've developed a very possessive and controling personality now.

Yet the sense of justice I spoke of still holds me back from being this way on the outside.

When will I get what I want, everything I desire? When will I see all those who hurt me finally come crawling to me begging for forgiveness and then I can send them flying into the lowest pits of hell the whole time laughing at them as they scream for mercy.

I really don't understand what it's like to have a mother. The mothering nature was always absent from my life. I feel it's probably affected my development in some way.

Anyways thats my rant. Help if you can. Ask questions if you want. And thanks for everything.

Maybe you should take up a sport, if you haven't already, and let some of that aggression start to fade away with a group of people you trust in. Or you can talk to you're mother and bleed out all the emotions you have about her in the calmest way possible (if possible with her) and probably do this with your sister as well. And if you want power ,though i wouldn't really recommend it, focus that aggression to get into a easy high ranking job were you can actually get to boss people around like you own them while getting a ton of money in the process.(Which by the way of some of you're family members act might want anyway) This being a positive way to release that rage, sorta.

I have felt this exact way before and all I can say is try to push the thought s that make you think like this away and focus on positive aspects of your life also I'd talk to your grandmother about them going to jail next time I agree that the guilty deserve their punishment and if someone keeps bailing them out they'll continue the process.

I just wrote a multi-paragraph response to this and I lost it.

I will not fume or curse or type in caps, rather, I promise to leave something meaningful for you.

But that's just it. Why should I have to work to make myself happy when they were the bad ones? I mean they drop out of school but I stay in school and I'm even going to college. They do drugs and stuff and i've never done drugs at all. They've been in jail but i've never been in jail one time. They are selfish and use people but I try to be nice to people and try to be selfless.

So why should I have to change anything about myself? I should get something for being better than them. I am better than them. I'm supposed to get rewarded and have the attention and the love and all of that stuff. But yet my grandmother shows compassion and pity on them? It makes me sick.

I shouldn't have to be positive or anything like that now. I should be able to get what I want now instead of them. I should be able to get my revenge and hurt other people just like i've been hurt.

My anger and my hatred are my comfort. Why should I give up yet another thing. When will I ever get anything I want? I want revenge, I want comfort, and I want to hurt someone else. Love, compassion, attention, keep it. All I want is the more evil and selfish things in life now.

If only I could let myself be that way. My anger and my hate belong to me, I own them, no one is taking that away. It's all mine, mine, mine.

i think what your therapist means that you need to let your hatred towars your mother and older sister to rest because im preety sure all that hatred cant be good for you and you cant continue dwelling on the past and you have to coninue on with your life and let what happened in the past be i recommended that you get something to occupy your life or mind like join a sport like latersquash said or get a gf or something and talk to your mom and sister because you dont want them to die and things are patched up with you guys you will live with that guilt if they were to die and the last time you guys talked was in a fight thats all i can say bro good lucky with your problems man hope you patch things up with them

You have to let go so you don't change.
To do what you feel you are rewarded to do is what would change you. You say that you try to be selfless, and you don't want to change? Then you must stay selfless, and not give in, no matter how much it takes to.
You must show humbleness in order to show that you are, in fact, not as low as them, whether they know it or not.

The other older sister stayed in school and graduated. She later got back in church and was doing the right things. She met this guy who was in prison and led him to become a christian and once he got out she was going to marry him and start a family.

Well one day she went with my my oldest sister one day and dropped her off at a store, the oldest one was drunk that day. Anyways the good older sister was driving that day and only 10 minutes after dropping the bad sister off her blood sugar got low (She was a diabetic) and ended up a terrible car crash that took her life.

I read the whole thing, and I kept going back to that, maybe that plays a major role in your anger..? as well as everything else you spoke about. I'm glad you're seeking help. Family can be rather frustrating and really stress you out and change who you are, and not having the nurturing mother or father figure can really mess you up later on..I know all about that. I wish I had some encouraging words to say, but I'm also seeking the same answers and help you are. I'm sure somebody else will have a helpful wall of text for you. Just know you're not alone buddy.

So what you all are saying is that if I hold onto my hatred eventually it will cause me to become an evil person?

But if I give up my hatred then what will I have left that I can claim as mine? It's like I was robbed and now I don't get anything back. No compensation. Yet my mother and sister go on doing what they do and they never feel any remorse. In the end I lose. I don't beat them. I don't get to gloat about any victory over there. I claim no prize. No satisfaction. Without hate all that's left is emptiness. An emptiness that is personified as loneliness. The absent of emotion which would lead to the birth of a void in my heart that would consume my every thought, action, and second of life.

I would lose the satisfaction that can only come from revenge. A type of satisfaction only complete and utter chaos can give. Love, kindness, justice, forgivness all seem so small and meaningless compared to the joys of victory over my mother and sister and revenge in seeing them suffer. Love and Kindness, justice and forgiveness would seem more like punishments while revenge seems like a prize at last claimed, a right finally granted, a victory obtained, and a close to a story.

I would give up my chance at an education, I would give up almost anything for revenge on them.

These thoughts lingering so strong in my heart and mind every day.

So you would give to obtain? What difference would that make? In the end you still have the same amount, except if you hold onto the anger, you'l have lost your morale. You need to really consider what is more important. Having physical proof you are above them, but in truth being below them, or truly be above them, with no physical proof of it being so. It's your decision, no one can make it for you.

But why do I have to make such a decision to begin with? It's their fault i'm in this situation now. If they would have just done what they were supposed to and live moral lives instead of being such rebelious fools then things would be better. Now it falls on me to make a choice when I have done nothing to deserve such a thing. It's still a punishment on me. To let go of anger and hate is to let go of what makes life worth living. It would be to let go of purpose and meaning. But they never have to give up anything so in the end they win.

Let me tell you something straight, there is justice. Take a good look at your mother and sister. How many opportunities to succeed at life do they have? Will they ever become educated properly, get a good job, make proper money? In their state, have they any chance to change something in this wicked world? Will they ever know what true companionship and love and tenderness is like? Will they ever have the joy of a son and a brother, will they ever have the joy of helping their fellow man?

No.

But you can. You can let go of this petty anger and become better than them. You can succeed, you owe it to yourself. What they weren't for you, you can be for someone else.

The therapist avenue is a really good idea if it works for you, which I see you're already doing. Honestly, I don't think you need to try to let go of your resentment to your mother and sister. You can't do that forcibly, it has to come in time and you haven't had enough time.
Being selfish isn't always bad, but you can't be outwardly cruel because that's being just as bad as the people you have so much hate for.
You do not have to forgive your mother and sister ever, but please don't let them continue to ruin your life. Just be kind to those you love like your girlfriend, father and grandmother.

I had a vaguely similar circumstance with my dad and I always wanted some sort of revenge, but I never got it and eventually after years of not living with him/talking to him I didn't even want my revenge. I stopped hating him but I don't find myself capable of loving him either.

You never have to forgive them and you never have to stop resenting them. But you need to find a way to figure out your anger and stop it from seeping into every aspect in your life. You have a future, they don't. Be better than they were.

No.

But you can. You can let go of this petty anger and become better than them. You can succeed, you owe it to yourself. What they weren't for you, you can be for someone else.

But it doesn't seem real. It seems like a fantasy created simply for comfort when in fact it just mask the reality of the situation. It doesn't feel real.

And be there for someone else. Even if I tried that, there will never be anyone there for me. I'll always be comforting everyone else but no one will ever comfort me. It will be just like what happened when my sister died. Everyone was breaking down. The first one they came to for support was me. They asked me questions which I tried to answer. I didn't cry not once until the day of the actual funeral, then I bust down crying. But I saw the state everyone else was in and I had to pull myself together for them. I was so busy comforting everyone else, but when it was over I was left without a chance to grieve.

Now with the pain and the hate and the anger toward my mother and oldest sister, I have to give that up and once again my pain will be forgotten and no one will comfort me. My pain goes unhealed and my scars remain just like times before no one will be there. I'll be alone again. No one able to understand me again. I'll lose a part of myself again. And in the end I gain nothing.

When my sister died I even tried to show comfort to my mother and my oldest sister. A decision I regret.

What will there be left then? Nothing. Just loneliness. I always felt that even if I had no one I would always have hatred. If I keep it held back then what am I? Just an empty shell with no drive. Keeping it all held back, living with a fake smile. Never having what I truly want.

I really didn't say you should fake how you feel and pretend. You should tell people how you feel, and if you think it would help you should tell your mother and sister exactly how you feel about them. But you can't let them ruin you, because one day you will have more than this hate. I'm just saying that becoming spiteful to good people who love you or people who have done nothing wrong isn't right.

But how else will they know how I feel unless I do hurt good people. If I hurt them then they will understand me and instead of love then we'll all hurt each other and things will make sense again. Instead of an order of justice, there will be an order of hurt and things will all make sense once more.

Who needs JUSTICE when all you need is some sly wit and a few hidden agendas


With metaphorical analogies sprinkled on top that technically don't exist and then in turn somehow teach people lessons

i'm kinda confused on the timeline. how old is everybody in your family including yourself (assuming your 18 just by your status)

I'm 18.
Oldest Sister is 30
Sister who died in car crash would be 29 this year if she was alive today
Little Sister is 16
Nephew is 13
Mom is 47
Dad is 63
Grandmother is 67

My grandfathers all died before I was born or soon after I was born.

I already gave up my child hood, and now I'm supposed to give up my anger and hate? I'm tired of giving things up. I want to take all I can. I want it all to be mine. I want to be selfish and mean. Evil and cruel. I want to be able to hurt people without feeling any remorse. I want to make people fear me and not care about what they think. Sometimes I feel like I want to be on top of the world and have it as my play ground and all the people as just tools for me to break. To let go of all moral restraints and be as cruel and evil as I possibly can. To finally spit in everyone's faces and gain incredible authority and power. To rule over everything. To make people bow before me like dogs bowing to their master. This is how I feel sometimes now.

I keep having to give up things, so when will I get to take what I want. I want to be able to claim as much as I can to be mine. I've developed a very possessive and controling personality now.

Yet the sense of justice I spoke of still holds me back from being this way on the outside.

When will I get what I want, everything I desire? When will I see all those who hurt me finally come crawling to me begging for forgiveness and then I can send them flying into the lowest pits of hell the whole time laughing at them as they scream for mercy.

To be honest, this is rather troubling.

The thing you need to understand is that there is a difference between justice and revenge; don't fret: better men than you have made the mistake.

What you want is not justice. What you want is revenge. You yearn to take pleasure in the misfortune of others. It's pessimistic; it's cynical; and it's everything opposite of what you should be standing for. I understand that you feel wronged by your family, and I'm trying to sympathize, but when your mind is full of just distorted and disgusting intentions, I find it difficult not to compare you to the very ones you seem to despise. You're not going to cure their hate or the wrongs they've committed with more hate. You can't let that happen, or else you become just like them. That's not justice: that's another good man falling to negative temptations.

I know it's hard, but you have to move on. You're apparently 18 now: get out as soon as possible. Move on. Be free from it. And be free from the resentment you're currently holding onto. I know it's going to be hard to let it all go, but you have to if you want to move on permanently. If you must take revenge, let it be in your own personal success; don't take pleasure in the pain and suffering of others.
