[QUOTE="RN0441, post: 714672, member: 15032"] Seek I think we all crave the things that you mentioned above. I know that I do. I have an estranged relationship with my older brother and sister. They are not mean but something just happened (long story) with my son and his addiction and they can't move past it. I have tried. I have had to let go. My husband has 3 sisters and only one of them is in our life because the other two are just so self absorbed that it's not worth it. I do not have a relationship with my Difficult Child presently because I have been hurt so much by his poor choices and I just can't do it right now. I have a friend that I thought was special but she did something that I thought was a bit cruel and she doesn't see it so have had to move on. If I think about all this stuff I'd be really sad but I have had to be very thick skinned in my life but trying to do that without letting myself become negative or jaded by it. So far I have been successful. I have talked to my therapist about it and she said it's due to my nature of being too kind. I'm trying to learn to be more assertive. [/QUOTE]
