lfmn, what i found works for me is to create a "family" of friends rather than focusing on family. it's human nature to compare ourselves with others but in your case your family pushes your buttons. with really good friends you can receive acceptance rather looking at things that really don't matter that creates a negative spirit within yourself. i encourage you to look at what you do possess rather than what you don't have. afterall this cell phone thing is really not important and you wouldn't use it anyhow.
