(((HippieChick))) Families make strange bedfellows at times. The same people who are "supposed" to love and support us when we are flat on our faces...suprise us by walking on us. I think the Holidays are especially hard because it isn't about the "reason for the season" it's about the hustle and bustle and $$$$ or the lack of it. And it's about longing for that elusive "something"....that's always been there, we just don't see it.
You really aren't alone because you are a part of this forum family and we are here to listen, to really hear with our hearts and to help you to your feet.
