Any one else the black sheep?

[sufisaint]

How do deal with it? I just cannot deal with it sometimes...they just cannot accept that i just don't even think like them regardless that we all were in the same house and are genetically linked...Still bothers and I am 38! Just the issues change but not the B.S.

 

[Wiggles]

Family is a lot easier to deal with if you don't *have* to deal with them. My car keys are never far away when I'm visiting the relatives.

 

[lisalove]

Ohhhh yes. And on top of it I always end up dating or marrying the bad sheep of another family.

 

[InnocentAngel81]

i am the black sheep, my family tends to ignore my existance

 

[Eagle70]

Both of my sisters were brains...both went to Dartmouth College...one even got accepted to Harvard...National Honors Society, scholorships, you name it.

Me? i was the jock. I played football, did track, stuff like that...i did fine at my school, granted, it was alot harder than the public school my sisters went to, but i didnt flunk any courses...yet to my parents, i'm the "dumb" underachieving one...i'm a state champion in football, i ran a comittee for student council, i was voted "BMOC" my senior year...and what happens? I'm still the stupid one, the one who achieved nothing. it fucking sucks

 

[Private Vasquez]

I'm the white goat, actually, but everyone in my family likes me.

 

[sufisaint]

I cannot find one!!!!! Love to find a female eccentric like me..

 

[Honeygirl]

I'm not so much the black sheep - but in my family you don't need to be to get caught in the middle of a shit fight. It sucks - royally!

I think I have the most screwed up family ever. There's back stabbing, bitching, and more mud slinging than you can possibly imagine.

I honestly find it hard to cope - especially lately. It's draining, time consuming and I get almost physically ill when there's a family get together.

Will someone adopt me?

 

[calypso_21]

I just became the black sheep officially so I'll have to get back to you on this. For the most part each kid has been the black at one point or another. I just booked the position for the rest of the year though.

 

[sufisaint]

I have siblings who are almost perfect...all very financially successful....all american families...very Waspy...all good people do not get me wrong but I am just not into all that...I tried and was miserable..... but they keep on insisting I try harder..

 

[truegentleman]

There are some in my family who think I am the black sheep, yet I am the one left to take care of my mom since my father passed away. They are never around to take her to the doctor or the store, or anywhere, I always do it.

In the end though, it doesn't matter. I know the kind of man I am. I will live with what I do, and let them answer for their actions.

 

[Laurel]

I'm totally the black sheep in the family. I don't talk to anyone in my family - haven't for years - so that takes care of any potential conflicts we'd have.

Oh yea - I get that. Why don't I own my own home, why don't I have kids, why don't I want "normal" things like 3.5 children, a mortgage and all that goes with it. No thanks - not my cuppa tea. Do you think it's jealousy?

Truegentleman - I'm in a similar situation with my parents, and my sister before that. It bites - but hell, I can sleep easy at night.

 

[Shaq]

I'm too lovable to be the black sheep...but they are grooming me for that role by acting like assholes forcing me to voice dissenting opinions against them....still to lovable though...

I'm 4th in line for the black sheep tag...I got jailbird kin that's way worse than me....

 

[sufisaint]

I dread family get togethers and holidays....even getting stoned does not help(which I save for special occasions ussually)....but does make it more interesting...but I am dreading 4th of July picnic...extended family at my brother's new "massion " house with the new pool ect..and I quit my job two weeks ago........here we go........

I definitely think there is a jealousy factor...I am free and there not.....

 

[Susano]

I'm the blacker than black sheep. You ever wanna see a gravitational singularity comprised of mutton, you're looking at it. To give you an idea, the previous black sheep was my uncle--he smokes (just tobacco) and doesn't go to church very often.
I haven't mentioned lit to them, but I really don't need to, we exchange emails about once every three months, and I send e-cards on Christmas and Mother's day.

 

[Black_Bird]

I wasn't invited to christmas last year.
I was UN-invited to christmas the year before that.

My grandparents have taken a stance against satan, and I am the casualty. How ironic that they should hold idols so dear to their hearts...

 

[koalabear]

No problem here, I just killed them all off, now we get along fine.

Just an unconfirmed suspicion here, but I think freedom is a lot nicer than anyone who's lost it will ever admit.

 

[truegentleman]

The sad thing is, I have two brothers that try to tell me how I should do this or that regarding my mom, but do they offer to spend time with her? NO!!

I wish that I didn't live so close to my family.
I think we need to be at least a state away from each other.

I guess we're all Satan's children; maybe we can get together on Samhain like in Ray Bradbury's rendition of the family.

I find 2500 miles, either east or west works well for me.

 

[sufisaint]

I am always theone who shows up in black on christmas...and I am of course a different religion than them now...makes holidays even more fun although they deny I am.....

 

[Susano]

Are you really Sufi? That's really cool, I've read books with Sufi characters, but never met one.
