Is completely cutting off your relationships with your family ever a good idea?
I'm considering doing this.
They're not abusive or anything, they're just unpleasant to be around and stress me out with petty shit. I'm sick of them, and I'm barely able to pretend like I have a smidgen of affection left for them, but in the end they spent their time and money on me raising me and I'd be sort of a brat just turning my back on them, so maybe I should just suck it up?
Well nothing has to be permanent
But for now if thats what you need, do it. I'm planning on doing the same after college. I told my family if they want to stop being close minded its their choice, but I'm not living with them or being stressed with them holding me back.

Slowly reduce the amount of contact you have with them and observe if anything in their behaviour changes - obviously you would need to tell them that you're sick of them (use a nice phrase though).
family is important, dont turn your back unless its serious shit

Family is important but that isn't always the case m8.
Sometimes they manipulate you into thinking they are teaching you whats right, but it turns out its whats right for them, not you.

Like what?
Mom, it's no wonder dad left you. I'll go ahead and do the same
>be me
>born in a family of shitskins
>raised to only believe I can only be an engineer, doctor, or lawyer
>tell parents I want to be a cop
>"we wasted our money on your education"
>date a white chick
>parents threaten to cut themselves out of my life because she is white
>end up breaking up with her because there was too much tension in the relationship
>haven't forgiven myself because of the relationship ending
Fuck them. Either way, now they are going to be out of my life for sure. I'll make sure of that. Just wish I had the balls to stand up to their threats previously so it could have at least been with her instead of being alone.
