Has anyone in your family told you that you mean something to them or that they wish you were better? I'm in the same boat as you. I just go out for groceries and to YMCA to swim. I'm amazed that my brothers/parents don't have a clue how to handle problems or issues when someone in the family is ailing and/or poor. Seems like they head for the hills. And people in my community look at me like an alien. I know how you feel. Will any family members invite you to Thanksgiving dinner?
