I've heard similar experiences in Al-Anon (www.al-anon.org) and how people have strengthened their relationships with themselves and family. Some say they find a place where they belong, after feeling as outcast from family and everyday activities.<BR/><BR/>It sounds as though your family has limited skills and you want more! Good for you!divabowiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15620289164661294804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23368466.post-78301744940520501732008-11-24T05:43:00.000-06:002008-11-24T05:43:00.000-06:00I just came here from Spoonflower - I LOVED your f...I just came here from Spoonflower - I LOVED your fabric design. So I was checking out your blog - and just got down to this post. I'm sending you a big hug now. It sucks that you have no safe place to be heard in your family. And it's even worse that they don't recognize what a beautiful life you have created with your talents and skills. We all create in our own way, and your way is GORGEOUS!Sasha Mitchellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11809938724238270562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23368466.post-86266155565801953282008-10-13T10:29:00.000-05:002008-10-13T10:29:00.000-05:00i cried reading this. parts of my dysfunctional f...i cried reading this. parts of my dysfunctional family have left me in the cold too many times to count and it sucks to read that the people closest by blood to you are basically emotionally abandoning you one by one. <BR/>I don't usually comment on your blog (something I should do far more often because you are such a rockstar), but I just had to let you know that you deserve better and are Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00346313280738440775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23368466.post-28934910418144597472008-10-07T15:55:00.000-05:002008-10-07T15:55:00.000-05:00Darlin'I've been there.

Yes, I have one sister who talks to mom daily & more - the other every other day. Me, it's every other month or more at the behest of duty. I try to live my live well despite the criticism and crap. I look to God for my patience and strength.

It is their loss that they do not recognize you in the way you deserve to be recognized and loved. I am thinking about you and praying all will turn around.annemariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07526668349590879593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23368466.post-31740601767333006562008-10-07T13:07:00.000-05:002008-10-07T13:07:00.000-05:00*hug, hug, hug*You are so articulate and express y...*hug, hug, hug*<BR/>You are so articulate and express your feelings so well, it's hard to understand how family doesn't respond.
