My relatives are in NYC like 2 hours away, I don't go there often. So tiring. Fucking traffic and like sitting in a moving metal box (aka: a car) for 2 fucking hours... what the fuck lol. I remember being there in 2024 like December I think. I was so tired. So many relatives I don't wanna talk to, like nothing I wanna talk about. I was in the height of my depression and my parents forced me to go, under the threat of cutting me off if I don't, so I went. And I hate it. Nothing to do with them, I was dealing with depression, the last thing I need was a forced socialization. Took like a month for me to recharge my "battery" and like be at baseline "calm" again. (baseline is still very anxious)
As in my immediate family...
I dont even know if we are still family anymore or just the remnants of a loose bond initially forged through the connection of our blood/DNA.
