I had a bad split with most of my family after my older brother committed suicide. Also, around the same time, my step father passed and my mother's Alzheimers was bad - so most of the family members who cared much about me, were gone or disabled.

I still have contact with my younger brother but he's in another state. I used to be closer to my family but have had abuse from the family as a whole too - its been a hard struggle for me with family in general.

So for anybody having hard family struggles or hatred between family members - let me say I can relate - its hard and I'm so sorry about it!
