this is sounding like so many of us out there we just want to be needed for who we are, family can do the most hurt, my brother lives about an hours drive from where we live, has a phone and a car is two years older than me, i have seen him twice in the last two years, once when i took my kids down to were i come from for there feast week, and the other time at my grans funeral, since then we have been made homeless and then found were we are living now i wrote two letters one to him and one to my aunt both times i havent even recieved a reply, let alone a call, we cant chose our family but that doesnt make the wanting any easier, so like i said a lot of us can understand were you are comming from i hope you feel better soon
