Hey, PeachEater again.

Kinda been having a rough time lately.

Just wondering if anyone ever cut out their sexist family members from their life?...

I guess I can share more story here, but from most of my comments I have mentioned a handful of times growing up in an abusive, religious household.

Growing up, my parents would force me to stay inside and wouldn't allow me to do certain thinga because I was a "girl" and basically how I wouldn't amount to anything.

My mother would hit me, tell me I'm embarrassing to be seen around(I used to dress boyish), tell me that my body is disgusting thin, told me to straighten frizzy hair, shave my legs, put on makeup, etc.

My father has attempted to beat me up, kick me out and screamed in my face for cutting my hair VERY short(pixie, and my mother actually cut it when I asked so...). He didn't allow my mother to talk to male coworkers, wear makeup, or wear skirts. He accused her of cheating all the time...(there is a HUGE age gap.)

Anyways...I am the only female sibling. My brothers got to do WHATEVER they wanted. They picked up some traits of our parents and I'm debating on whether it's time to let them go too..

My 2nd oldest brother is EXTREMELY conservative and close minded. He thinks gender roles exist and can't ever be wrong. He was too much of a "macho" man to hold our mother's purse one time. It really won't kill you...He also rold me hardly anyone can be racist LOL. Okay sure. Told him people were saying racial slurs to me and he said it wasn't racist and argues wirh me(I am brown skinned and used to get called n-word much times growing up in that country). He argued when I mentioned my SO jokingly said he'd lock up our daughter(if we had one) when she gets older(he said that just to see my reaction) and my 2nd oldest brother said "Well, yeah I would too if I had a daughter. Haven't you heard how guys talk?" Then teach MEN to not be like that. My son will NOT be like thay because his dad and I will TEACH him.

The younger one is sleezy. He doesn't care about women's feelings. They're just..."wenches" to him. He has a check list he tries to complete. He used to ask out every girl he could until he got his first girlfriend and his lost his virginity. He told me so in his own words. Then, when they werw together for just a short while, tried to make her pregnant so she wouldn't LEAVE HIM. Uh...pretty sure it's the other way around buddy.

He also uses us for money and is EXTREMELY inconsiderate. I tell him to call me firat before coming to my house. He just show up, knock loudly and ring the door bell a couple of times when my baby is asleep. I tell him, he doesn't care. He also brought bedbugs before...I tell him he can't come anymore until he cleans up and he say I selfish and didn't talk to me for months.

2nd oldest brother defends youngest brothers (stupid) decisions and argues with me and EXCUSED EVERYTHING younger one does(yes, including bed bugs)

I'm sick of this stupid sexist views.

The eldest brother is more calm. However...he lives with mother(who's separated from father). So...he listens to everything she say and wants. He feels like it is his obligation to keep the peace.

My mother hardly talk to me unless she need money or something...I work in a low entry stem field and have my own family( SO and son). My father doesn't talk to me at all, not really. He never asks about me or anything.

I'll be hosting a family event soon but I think I'll just cut my family out based on how they treat me...My in-laws are OK(well some) and much more warm in comparison. It will be at in-laws house anyways.

Can you let me know if you experience same issue and what you did?

I was no contact for a while but...went low contact when I had a baby. Now I'm thinking of cutting them from my life based on how they are and how they treat me.

I feel like people around me think I am crazy because they are my "blood family".
