My family all want me to move closer but to imagine finding a place in 'normal'.... I just don't know. It is one thing to appear every couple of years and reunite... quite another to 'belong' and have a 'normal' place in the mix of 'normal' lives.
I don't know.... just somehow puts a spot light on how alien I am but I am the only one who sees the light. While I seem myself the alien I am stunned by the realization of how dysfunctional everyone else really is. I wonder how they exist. I went crazy. They carry on oblivious of the insanity of thier own lives. Maybe my insanity is recognizing the insanity of life.
Like I said... in a wierd place. How do people do it. I couldn't. I went crazy. How come they aren't. They just keep going and going oblivious. Normal is wierd. lol.

Yes I agree that surreal is a good adjective for watching other peoples lives play out when one has been isolated out of forced choice for so long.
The family I had were past weird, so dysfunctional that I felt normal and that is saying A LOT lolllll!
But I am so very happy that your family actually want to support you and work with you on life. Whatever you choose to do I just really hope for you happiness and a feeling of being loved and protected; you are so special and deserve to spread your wings and fly
