Is it wrong to *hate* your family?

Question

I'm grown. I live on my own. I have a job and a fiance and a life of my own. 
But I hate my family. My dad is a deadbeat. My mom is a pretentious bitch. My siblings are entitled, rude, lazy pieces of shit. Even my extended family sucks. 
I don't argue with them. I hardly interact with them, but when I do, I'm civil. 
Is it wrong of me? I feel guilty for feeling this way, but I can't help it. 
How's your relationship with your family?

Answer

I feel like hate is a verrrrrrry strong word for anyone. If you just don't get along with them or don't like how they are then I don't think you're wrong at all.

Answer

Definitely not. Family might be important to some but without the connection, they're just random people. Don't feel bad for not having that connection. They don't seem like people that would help you in life anyway.

Answer

I don't think there's anything wrong with keeping your distance. My dad and I don't get along at all (mostly because he's an asshole to almost everyone) so we don't talk, despite living in the same house. Luckily, he works the 2nd shift so he's not around when I'm up and about most of the time. When we are up at the same time, I just try to stay out of his way. (He has a bad bad temper)

Answer

You're fine. I hate most of my family. Honestly, they could die, and I wouldn't even blink. It's sad, but still. My third oldest brother is like the worst. He hates me. He treats me horribly all the time for no reason. I love his wife and kid, but him, not really. He lives out of state, and at one point when I was 16, he was so outrageous that my dad said he wasn't going back to visit him until he learned how to respect his only sister. I spent my summer break at his house as a favor to his family so his wife wouldn't have to drive alone with the baby. Then, while I was out of state for over half a month, my boyfriend of over a year cheated on me and I found out about it. Of course, I was devastated, but I never once took it out on him or his family; however, as if that wasn't bad enough, my brother blamed me for everything that went wrong while I was there even though none of it was my fault. Then, he said he wanted me out of his house since I was causing problems. The thing is, he was hardly home and I never spoke more than one sentence to him. Also, at one point he wouldn't let his wife buy groceries, and she couldn't make dinner. Thus, I was hungry and she offered to take me to get some food. I said yes, and then I even offered to BUY EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM FOOD with my own money! He started screaming at me when I offered and cussing, because I was causing problems and being difficult. At one point, he even asked my mom if he could take my phone from me, because I was on it too much. Keep in mind this is my brother I wasted my summer for and not my dad. Also, keep in mind I was only on it in the 8 or so hours a day he was actually home, and most of the time he was home, I was asleep. I stayed on it to avoid causing any problems with him. He's a horrible human being, so I honestly understand you completely. Being related means nothing. Being related does not make someone your "family" by any means.

Answer

I have a sister that most of the time I just can't stand but in the end she's still my sister and I love her. I have pretty good relationships with all my siblings and my parents. I dnt think I could ever hate them. I think you should try to build better relationships with them. Never know when you might need them. Vice versa.
