My parents are deceased, and my only sibling lives far away.

I have an elderly aunt I get along with because she's always known my heart and spirit. She's very ill though. I can't call her very often because of her heart condition. When she rushes to the phone, it throws off her heart rhythm and it takes her a very long time to catch her breath.

I get along with my husband and adult son, but I'm a tremendous burden to them.

I get along with everyone else, but it's usually one-sided. They do the talking, I do the listening. When I do talk, they don't understand.- when I try to explain myself, they become angry and turn their backs on me.
