Is it normal to hate your family?
It’s not unusual to feel intense anger or even hate toward family, especially after repeated conflict or being hurt. The feeling doesn’t make you a bad person, and you’re allowed to set boundaries—even with relatives.
Family can push buttons no one else can, and years of feeling dismissed, controlled, or hurt can turn anger into something that feels like hate. Sometimes it’s a passing reaction after a blowup; sometimes it’s a sign that the relationship has become deeply painful. Either way, having the feeling isn’t the same as acting cruelly or unsafely.
People differ on what they think family owes each other. You can care about someone and still need distance, or decide that contact isn’t good for you. You don’t have to force closeness just because you’re related; if the anger is weighing on you, talking it through with someone you trust can help you figure out what boundaries you need.
