After being online here for sometime I am trying to psycoanalize what it is that makes people tick. I have read some of the posts and realize there are alot of people dealing with alot of issues. My reasons for going online started because of issues with my family. My exhusband, parents, etc. I just couldn't figure out why I was so miserable and they just pointed it back to me. I make myself miserable. My parents were workaholics as well as my husband. They wanted me to encourage that as well as support their doing so. I tried believing that work was necessary to maintain a family. I still believe work is neccessary but I am see their aholic behavior is what stopped us from being family. My parents are retired but now insist that they aren't okay with being close to me still. They are anxious to treat themselves after years of hard work. Which they treat themselves very well. I just feel lost in that I still don't feel comfortable being a support person but never being supported except financially myself. Emotionally I have been seeking God, counseling, everything. I don't have family which is what I thought was right. Now I wonder if this needs to be adjusted for good in my mind and realize family is just a figment of my imagination. What would you do.
