Thats gotta be hard. Unfortunately there's entirely too many of us who understand your situation. I have very little to with my family anymore.

ETA: The more I think about this the more irritated I get. If someone had taken the time to help me when I was that age I may have had a much different life. Having raised a daughter I cannot understand why someone wouldn't do what it takes to help their child.

Your children do not "get old".

Sorry, I'm easily annoyed today.
