Hello any one who may stumble on this.  I have spent my life trying to please my parents and siblings.  When they need something from me I do what ever I can to help, yet we all live short miles apart, and I can go weeks and not hear from any one.  The only time I hear from them is whe...

    Sorry that it has been so difficult for you and your siblings seem so terribly insensitive. It is time, I think maybe past time, for you to seek out those that can be understanding and supportive without judging you. Finding a support group may help you make friends that will provide you with the nurturing you need. I think I would break away from my family and not let them know much about my life (if anything).

    Thanks for your wise words as always Eileen.

    I intend on doing just that, the negativity from them just brings me down.  It's time I worry about me because they sure don't care.

    Thanks again.

    Hello Eileen,

     

    My therapist suggested it a while ago that I join a support group, the odd part of it is the only support group available is in the Mental health clinic which is about 1 hour away from me,  it is hard to make my regular appt.s any way as well as my car is need of some repair.  But I will contact her and see about arrangements for transportation to these.   My other consern is talking about these things w/ strangers some of which I know frm my area.  However I will try my best to do this.

    Thank you for your encouraging words...
