[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 641830, member: 1550"] RE, sounds as if we are very much alike. Which, in my case, is why my family or origin (DNA collection) were so uncomfortable around me. They knew I saw. Even if I didn't say anything, they knew. And when I did say something that was taboo, which was anything negative about the way we interacted, that made one or another of my DNA collections go ballistic and tell me how it was me. I have kind of enjoyed my lifetime journey of learning about people, life, myself, my DNA collection...I am very interested in what makes people tick. And I am grateful to be one of the people who does not feel tied or obligated to people who are DNA connected to me because so many people in my opinion waste their lives trying to please them when all they get is abuse and criticism. I can see it clearly and I want to correct everyone who does it, or at least ask them why they do, but that is rude and intrusive. So I just wonder why and keep on people watching. And when they complain to me about Sis, Bro, Mom, Dad, Kid etc. I just nod my head, except in here. I *want* to say, "If you want to hang around them, yes, you will be treated like crapola." But that isn't what they want to hear. They just want to vent so I just nod and wonder why they can't figure it out if I did. It's not like I'm a rocket scientist ;) [/QUOTE]
