I'm looking for some good reading materials on better understanding, not only my own family situation that transpired over the years, but I want to get insight on what it's like for other people in other families. This might sound strange to you, but I just want to come to a resolve with an issue that's never stopped since the day I proved myself by being the only 1 out of 4 to graduate high school. I want to get a better understanding of dealing with jealous relatives to be able to better deal with it and just move on in life without the need to, "go home," as in going to Missouri where they are. I'm looking to make my own life for myself and keep a distance like I've been doing all my adult life, but I just get in trouble with them every time I visit, "home." I can't visit them without dramas surrounding money and jealousy and then getting taken advantage of many times and even cheated out of money and things I worked for. No I don't owe any of them money and never did. I've helped them out so much over the years and picked up the pieces when they got too irresponsible with drugs and alcohol, but I don't hold that against them. I've tried to search Google, but just don't know what to call it that I'm looking for other than jealousy. I anticipate the next time I go the states, I'll go to another state to enjoy home since they speak English and all that familiar stuff everywhere else out there. Why can't I go enjoy living in another state when I go back? It's still home. Deciding where to go and where the job is I want that's available is a whole other issue. This is a lot different than simply dealing with a jealous friend as this is the only family I have. This is obviously an enormously too long of a story to post in a forum and a personal one at that so I just gave the main points. Please, mature insightful replies only.
