Thanks so much! I am feeling much better now. Sometimes I just have days like that, but I suppose everyone else does too. It's not that the situation has changed much... I am just trying to accept it the way it is. There's not much I can do to change some of the things I mentioned above. God knows I've tried. I'm just going to go on with life, be happy for my own family, and not worry about it anymore. I've finally realized that I have put forth every effort in trying to become closer to my parents, but it always ends in the same way. I am not going to hate them for it, and I am not going to hate myself for it. I'm just going to accept the fact that this is just the way it is. I'll still talk to them, and be happy to talk to them. And this probably means that we won't talk much, but that's fine with me. I still love them, and I know they love me. But I am tired of trying to change a situation that is out of my control. I have a wonderful family of my own now. A husband that is amazing, and 3 kids that are my life. So, instead of being upset all the time about things I can't change, I am going to enjoy my husband and kids and just be HAPPY....FINALLY. Reading other people's posts around here has helped me gain the strength to do this. I appreciate the people here more than I can explain. This is a huge step forward for me...what I have decided to do about this situation. Thanks everyone.
