[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 663142, member: 1550"] Honestly, one thing I learned recently is that we never know if famlies are ok, no matter how they look. Before Sis got her divorce, she never once told me she didn't love her husband, much less that she (as she says now) NEVER loved her husband. On the surface the family looked perfect. Involved father (at least with his son), two beautiful, brilliant twin daughter, a gorgeous house, looked to me like they had money. The truth that I just found out: Sis picked on one of her twin girls until she was about twelve to the point that daughter wrote a distraught letter to her deceased grandmother (my mother) when she passed which included the words "I have nobody now. My mother hates me..." My mother was her champion, much like my grandmother was mine. And my sister claims she patcvhed up relationship with that twin, but that is not good parenting and it isn't a perfect family. Now she claims she never loved her husband, which is a whole other dynamic. She was married twenty years to a man she didn't love. Dismal. Her son suffered when the divorce happened because she abandoned him to the father, although they all still lived together...she was with her abusive boyfrieind. Well, her married boyfriend first. The son didn't matter. I remember that very well. She was barely with him. The father was. What happened to this great looking family? Do they have more problems than even I know about for sure? Of course. You do not know if any family is happy. Most do put on the best act they can and shut down talking about the bad stuff. Nice tables don't mean well balanced families with totally healthy, happy adult kids. We never know what lurks behind anyone's door. Don't be jealous. You have no idea what you are jealous of. I hope this helped. I have known many families who looked great that later broke up and everyone was shocked. Don't judge a book by it's cover. Bad cliche with good meaning. [/QUOTE]
