Family is not always what its cracked up to be.
I am very close to my three kids but thats about it these days.
Not in touch with any extended family and my mom has alzhiemers.
I have two siblings and we dont speak to each other at all any longer.
I believe they have their issues as well but I am the only one who is
dealing with and getting help for them. I think its wonderful that you take care of
your mom I did the same until she became to much to take care of at home.
It hurts me that I am not close to my siblings but these days I only want to
look forward and not back at all the old nonsense.
