I agree that can and does happen with family. My son stayed through thick and thin, my daughter abandoned me, as she assumed I had money which was long ago used up on my medical conditions. If you can just have that one friend, or one person that cares, it does make the process much easier to go through. My son went with me to all appts. and hearings. I am here to listen anytime, as I do know what it is like to be hurt by family. ginnie
