And let's crack on with today's first story.

Much love, guys.

Now, today's first story comes from the relationship

advice so I read it from a throwaway account and says, I female 25 went no contact with my family.

Male 54, female 50 and male 20 when I was 18. Now they're reaching out. What should I do? For whatever reason, my parents didn't want me.

Once they had my brother who well called Adam, I was pretty much ignored. They didn't abuse me,

but I was pretty neglected. Everything was about Adam and how smart he was or how athletic he was

or how he was just the best thing since sliced bread. And there's me. A pretty average kid who got

decent grades, didn't play sports, wasn't super popular and liked to read books. I can't tell you

how many times I heard. Why can't you be more like Adam?

What made me cut off my family was when they didn't attend my high school graduation.

Adam had gotten her that morning, a sprayed ankle I was eventually told, and our parents rushed

into the ER because he swore up and down he broke his leg.

I only got one text from my mum telling me that they would make it up to me with a dinner to some family restaurant I mildly enjoyed.

I was done after that.

I'd been used to being neglected or forgotten about but I thought they would at least

attend my graduation.

I moved out that summer to go live with my cousin, female 30, and her wife in Arizona.

Then I blocked them and they haven't been in my life since.
