I felt more like that when i was younger too, now i think that i wouldn't be as important but definataly less in the way. Then I can't seem to get past all the things that only I seem to try to do for my son's needs and don't trust anyone else to care as much.....responsibility and overwhelming burdens can do alot for a person while it's eating them away.

Oh and for those who want to matter, your definatly not alone, otherwise ALL forums would fail. Facebook, Myspace here no matter where you go everyone is giving updates and thoughts, interacting with a world they do and don't know all to feel like they matter and have a place in this world.
