I know the pain of being rejected by your mother. It is incredibly difficult. I'm sorry you have to live with these individuals as your family. Do you have other more supportive people in your life you consider to be like family?

I guess it's hard sometimes. knowing that you're ever really going to have 1 real family, only 1 in your entire life, and they don't want you. I mean if you can't reply on family.. then who can you rely on?
re: others, when people find oud out I have MI, they usually go off the idea of supporting me
I guess that's why I'm on this forum, because I can connect with others. I wish I had more supportive people though who would check in with me privately though.
even though it's nice to talk openly and pubblickly to everyone, it would be nice to have a special friend (or 2)
