Sounds good,

So my relationship with my parents is okay, I dont feel that close to my stepdad (who is like my dad) and I’m kinda disconnected from the rest of my family because I left my home country about 6 years ago. So when I see them we’re not as close as before.
Ive had some rough moments during my high school year where Ive been caught smoking and doing other things which affected my relationship with my parents. I was angry at that time but still had a pretty good relationship with them. Now I often feel depressed and don’t really feel like hanging out with my family, like when they want to go the beach or to a barbecue. I mostly see them during dinner, the rest of time Im either with friends or in my room. I have a little brother and a little sister who are 7 and 11. I love and care about them a lot but don’t really like the childish atmosphere of the house most of the time and Im often annoyed by the stuff my brother says or even the way my dad tries to act cool. My mom is very loving and caring and shes always asking me how I feel. She wants to help me and is looking for therapy.
As for the rest of the people I see, like my parent’s friends, who for some I traveled with and Ive known them for a long time, I feel like I dont have a close relationship with them even though I should. I don’t really like talking to adults because I often feel uncomfortable and almost never ask them about themselves.
