Thank you Ozzie and Songbird. What you say Song bird rings true. Yes, there will be a point where I just have to "break" away and take my own goals into my own hands. I guess its mostly I'm afraid that if I do that, it will just be another step to distancing myself from the family...its bad enough it seems like I have to blow a fog horn to get thier attention, I can only imagine what will happen if they tossing my dimes and Nickels at an therapist.

But on the other hand Songbird, I know it has to be eventually done.

I always wondered why the pople who are closest to you, sometimes shun you when a big problem arises?

I guess just another one of "life's mysteries" eh?
