I'm feeling as though my family is taking advantage of me and I am past the point of wanting to blow a gasket.

you can choose your friends but you can't choose your family. This is what you need to do--- you must set boundaries w/ certain members of your family and let them know how you feel and what they are doing otherwise how will they know? Believe me my family is CRAZY and as i've gotten older and WISER i have come to the realization that they'e not going to change but you can change and not allow yourself to be a victim. Do it, stand your ground and you will see a change--good luck!!

I'm not sure what is going on with your family but I am sorry it's made you SO angry.
If you're family is taking advantage of you then it needs to stop. You have control of this....you really do.
Don't blow a gasket...it's not worth it.
If I get upset with my family I go for a drive or a walk and take deep breaths to calm down.
The best thing though...Give it all to God. Lay it at His feet in prayer and Let Go and Let God.
God Bless.

If you don't live with them, blow them off for a while.
If you do, you may need to confont them. And while you are at it, DON'T let them take advantage of you. Learn the word no, most of us were good at using it at the age of 2, so bring it on back!!

If you feel like the whole family is ganging up against you, don't address them as a group. Talk to the person you trust most and explain to them how you feel. If you have at least one understanding person, you can deal with the rest as a team.

tell them how you feel just like you told us how you feel and if that doesn't work blow a gasket maybe that will work

Read a book called "emotional blackmail", or "toxic parents" it's very true, and very helpful!! God Bless :)

Go do your own thing, don't communicate with them whatsoever for a while, then see what happens.
