I feel the same way. Like I've crossed the threshold of being mentally ill and having issues to FUBAR level. Most of the time, I feel like an alien among others.
I'm sorry that you feel that way too. I hope it's not seen as selfish that it feels good to not be alone in that feeling. Even though I wish no one had to feel this way.
Glad you like the sig. I was hoping that it would make someone smile.

I just went earlier this week to children's services to start the ball rolling on becoming a foster parent.
I think that is really cool that you want to do that. There are many times that they feel that a single foster mom/dad is better for particular children's needs. Good luck with that .

Peppermint, it is so good to hear that your mom is so good and took lessons from her time in the system. Being without a family of any kind really makes a person see how important having one is, even when it is not the best one.

Being without family sometimes feels like being without food or air, you become starved from the lack of it. If you ever get a taste of it-- even if it is something that others would throw away or consider substandard-- you will do almost anything to keep it together.
