Cutting family out of life?

[Anonymous]

I still live at home as I'm trying to establish a career but it'll take me at least a year to pull it off and another 2 years to raise enough money so I can move out thanks to prices on everything going up 5 fold and with 2 years of the worst administration in the history of humanity still ahead, it's only going to get worse.

I've still been cutting my family out of my life as much as I can as it's full of power hungry, immature narcissists. My girlfriend's family is a massive burden to us both as well and they're putting so much strain on her and our relationship on top of them being toxic.

Once I move out and she moves in with me, that'll be the last time I contact any of my family members and I'm steering her in that direction as well to leave her family behind and never talk to them again as they'll only leech off of her as they've done her entire life.

I don't believe I owe any loyalty to anyone besides my girlfriend, she's the only person in the world that I care about and my family is nothing more to me than random people who share a last name with me. I question heavily this dogmatic loyalty people have towards their family when they're nothing more than strangers with their name.

So let me get this straight, you’re living at your family’s home, as a grown man, probably not paying any bills, yet they are allowing u to live there until you get on your feet. Yet you’re here complaining about them and talking about leaving them as soon as u do? You’re the leech my friend.
