I Was There For You, But You Left Me

Contemplating family relationships that I have lost in a single year for reasons that have nothing to do with my wife or me.

It amazes me how in a year’s span of time, I have lost most of my family relationships. In total, 15 individuals no longer care or contact my new family and me.

All I have left are my parents and brothers. My new family consists of me, my wife, my daughter (one year old), and my soon-to-be-born son (my wife is 4 months pregnant).

All 15 individuals I have never argued with, fought with, or put down in any way. I was never disrespectful to any of them, my entire life. I always treated them kindly and gave them my all.

Whenever someone needed their car to get jump I was there. When someone needed help moving in or out of a home or apartment, I was there. When someone was feeling down and depressed, I would drive and pick them up and take them out.

When anyone at all needed someone to talk to and listen to them, I was always there. Never ignored any calls or texts. I helped all of them with their emotional problems and physical problems.

I exposed them to new music, movies, art, food, places to go, etc. I even taught some of them how to play guitar. I was always a friend and important family member to all of them.

So you might be asking yourself, “Why did they all leave you?” “Why don’t any of them contact you?” The answer is I really don’t know.

They all live in the same state as me; all are less than an hour away. Only two of them live out of state. All those broken relationships, besides three of them, were reasons that have nothing to do with me, but with other family members.

The other three is because they were jealous and hurt by the fact that my wife was pregnant (her family members).

My wife’s family members have been toxic to her and us for the entire ten years we were dating, but once we were married and she was pregnant, the toxicity got to a level that my wife and I couldn’t handle so I had to bring it to a stop.

Some of the things that these people were saying were so hurtful and crazy. For example, one of them sai,d “I never want to see your baby, I have no desire to see it because you will just ghost me anyway, you are the reason for all my problems”. A 30-year-old woman said this with no context or reasoning on why.

There is a lot more, but I do not wish to gossip or get into details. I am only writing about this because it gives me questions.

If this many people that I gave my soul to for most of my life since I was 4 or 15 years old leave me without caring is it my fault? Am I the one who everyone is running from or is it that it is all of them?

If things happen for a reason in life, what is this reason? Is the reason to have less family in my life?

    There are times we come to a crossroad in our life, feeling as though life has made choices for us -without our permission. People come and go and this may be a time when you ask “Who is your true family? You have been there for others non stop only to be shunned and wondering why.

    Have you confronted any of your family to ask why they no longer contact you? It may be they have things happening and they just cannot reach out to you. Don’t carry this burden alone and take it to the Lord in prayer.

      Thank you so much for this heartfelt message. I feel like I am growing away from certain people in my life because I finally have realized that being around toxic people is a waste of time for me, and I no longer want to do it. Thank you again for reading and caring.

        Your decision is correct to stay clear of toxic people. For ones own well being we must leave those who do not have our best interest at heart. They may not understand, but the one who knows the heart does and that is all that is important in this life.

    Relationships can be hard. I think as we grow, we realize that some are toxic and not right for us anymore. Others we move away from because we have matured and become a bit wiser, but they have not.

      Yes I completely agree with you, and having kids really helped me understand this fully.
