i stay away from them as much as possible.i even stopped talking to my mother for 2 years.but i made the mistake of talking to her again.i also don't talk to other relatives much either.but some kind of abandoned me and flat out told me have your social worker help you.i'm not the needy kind of person but it would be nice to get support from someone other then my social worker everyone once in awhile.but i guess i should not expect them to help me since they did abuse me.the last few relationships i have had with so called friends have sucked.so i'm alone about 90% of the time.
