If you were the baby growing up, then you'll always be the baby in your family's eyes...if you screwed up somewhere, then you'll always be the screw up or the "black sheep" of the family. I've been the latter in my family for many, many years (not to my parents, but to other family members who shall remain nameless...) and even though I am in a stable relationship(have been for years), my kids are thriving, and I am happy...I still get ignored, frowned upon and what not. So I totally know how that feels...My Grandpa even went so far as to tell me "Well, you've really screwed up your life haven't you?", when I got divorced. So, really it's my fault the man was controlling and abusive? and it's my fault I had to leave him or completely lose my sanity? You're family would be best served to be nothing but supportive and non-judgmental...just saying...=0)jgirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07707613297668366407noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3980531981336832789.post-45883278253933485072009-11-29T01:22:51.013-07:002009-11-29T01:22:51.013-07:00Oh how true is that statement from Fraiser!
