[QUOTE="ColleenB, post: 696281, member: 19887"] O Copa .... I can totally relate! My sister is a Vetrenarian and I have my masters in counselling psyc. I think both our parents think that they must have done it all right, when in reality I raised my sister when she landed on my doorstep at 16, and I had been married a week, @22yrs old and raising a teenager! Our parents are no support as they both have major issues... My mom is sweet, but a child of abuse and not relatable. Our father is a morphine addict who lives on a boat... Basically a hermit who needs our financial support. He was a very successful business man in his early years, but at forty suffered a major disability, resulting in his current situation. He was never a present parent and is a huge drain now. I guess that is one of the reasons I feel so bad... My sister and I are successful, basically good people, despite our parents, and my son is a drug dealing addict... WTF? Excuse my language I stayed home ten years, did everything the books told me too (haha)... I wasn't perfect but I was a good and loving mom. So was my husband. So weird??? Thanks for sharing this with me... I am so dumbfounded by all of it. [/QUOTE]
