[QUOTE="witzend, post: 598759, member: 99"] Nomad, both my parents are alive, and going on 85 years old. I have many relatives, but none that I could feel safe with. If I were to reach out to anyone - and they're all 2,300 miles away, I'd eventually have to jusitfy [I]something[/I] to them and I just can't do that now. Maybe in a while, but how do you explain to anyone that none of your siblings talk to you, nor your parents, and your daughter didn't bother to invite you to her wedding let alone tell you that she's pregnant. [I]Too much[/I] water under the bridge right now. I told this woman the other day that I have[I] no idea [/I]as to why I just don't tell people that Allan and I are childless orphans. No one would have a clue that it wasn't true. It'd be easier... CF, I'm glad that I am too far away for it to be practical to go to my parents' funerals. I think that there would have been a time that I would have tried to go and save face, but I know it would be a disaster. I can't please them no matter what I do, so I may as well not do anything.
