I know what you're going through. All I have is my wife. My parents are divorced and live far from me. I don't talk to my brothers and very little with my sisters. I have no aunts, uncles, or cousins I've talked to in years. My wife and I moved in with her mother four years after her father had committed suicide. Last September, her mother died after a long flight in the hospital. So, now, she considers herself an adult orphan. Other than a couple of distant cousins, I'm all the family she has and she's the only family I have nearby. Holidays are tough especially last Christmas. It was the first in forever that she didn't spend it with her mom. But, we have each other and we have friends looking out for us. So, even when we think we're alone, if we look around, we will find people who care about us. Some of my friends are closer to me than my own family. Look around. I'm sure you'll find someone who cares about you.
