I want to keep my family at a distance since I am having trouble forgiving them.
Is there a specific reason you are thinking of becoming distant?
I just think it is for the best.
You've known your family your whole life, so it makes sense you get tired of them from time to time. They will worry for you though, as a result, and the same can be said of you. You may end up regretting becoming distant.
I understand the whole me vs them issue. I just think my family are a bunch of scum.
Well sometimes you have to distance yourself from people who make you feel more negative. These are your family members though, so it may be worth your time telling them how you feel. Take all the time you need!
