Maybe, like with me, your family of origin left you feeling like you never had the family-feeling you craved and that everyone needs. Maybe - like me - you hoped that when you found someone special, his family would embrace you and, finally, you would feel connected in the way that your heart yearned for. I'm only guessing. That's how it was for me. It didn't work out, at all, as I had hoped. Life is just sad, sometimes.

yeah with my "family" i never really felt I had a family- I learned with friends at one point it is what you make of it- not what the blood tests show. Those are just genetics.
With his family I was always leery of the whole idea/hopeful thinking due to it is hopeful thinking-- in addition I never just expected to plop down and be part of a family - but at one point I did think- well these are nice people and I know me and I just take time to grow on people as they with me.... but with this all- 3 years of me still feeling leery with them and with recent events- I Don't think that is going to happen- perhaps it will maybe I am missing something, but right now I am doubtful with it. and it does hurt to *loose that little hope,-- But I have to remind myself- even if it is a two person family with love and caring-- it is better than a full family of people that just want to inflict pain on another or that "just don't get it" and everyone has to be fake with one another.
Just my take on life- others don't roll that way so I can see disagreement in that which is fine.
