As a kid, I did. I actually got a lot of support from my family as a kid, though a lot of it was of the helicoptering type variety. Though, still there was a lot of support as a kid. As an adult, not really. With regard to my work, yes. But pretty much everything else, my family has protested, attacked, and tried to manipulate me into changing. They haven't really done this lately, but I'm sure they would love to do it again....... but just have written me off as a "lost cause" more or less. Or are just waiting for another good opportunity to abuse yet again. In general, as an adult, my family has been more of a struggle for me to deal with than any sort of source of support. And it's been a very difficult struggle. As of late, they haven't really seemed to do anything to try to change me and attack who I am, but I probably would be quite foolish to get suckered back into having any sort of sense of trust again....... as the cycle has repeated itself before.
