Well, I never knew who my father was, so that's not a possibility. My mother greatly abused me so I have cut her out of my life finally. My other brother is in prison for armed bank robbery-we have contact, but its weird and strained because he's very manipulative, me and my little sister talk everyday-I suppose she's my only friend. But she thinks mental illness is bullsh*t and people with it should "get over it", so I get ZERO support from her. Ironically, she has many untreated mental problems and I am her unoffical psychologist. Its a very one sided relationship, but I love her. Its hard.
