This question is for people that have had dysfunctional childhoods.?

Question

When I was little my family drank almost every day. My mother, uncle, stepfather. There was always fights in the house. My mother was a battered wife. I saw this and kept to myself. I didn't socialize with anyone that came to the house at all. I helped raised my four sisters and did my chores while my mother drank her life away. I don't have any desire to be social even today. I don't get along with the rest of the humans in this world. There is one person in this world now that I like being around. The holidays are here and I was asked to socialize. I declined the invitation. I don't like seeing people getting drunk and then starting fights or quarels that don't involve me. How many people stopped socializing this way? Are you living a lonely life because of your past life? I feel very uncomfortable around people. I always see something wrong with people. Things that I don't want to be around. Like people getting high, drunk, sarcasm and just plain nosy. I see a lot of snobbiness too.

Answer 1

I dealt with my childhood, so did my husband. We tend to steer clear of people, don't want the drama in our lives. We have few friends, but the ones we do have are true.
There is life without dysfunction, you just have to find it within yourself.

Answer 2
