[QUOTE="cubsgirl, post: 409369, member: 11211"] I too, come from a family that cannot offer much support. I am the oldest of four siblings and none of us live in the same state. My mother hasn't spoken to me in approximately 15 years -- but that is a long story. My Dad does the best he can to be supportive by at least keeping communciation lines open (we talk about once a week). He also dotes on my two kids (since my mother does not acknowledge them - they are divorced and my Dad has remarried the most wonderful stepmother). I've noticed that I tend to have "surrogates" when it comes to family support. I've received support from Church (I know - not for everybody), book clubs, kids school activities. I try to provide support to those people too. It's so hard when you feel that you are all alone in difficult child-world. ((HUGS)) [/QUOTE]
