There is nothing more heartbreaking than when a family member is in crisis. I find it harder to see people I love in crisis than to deal with my own crisis.

When people at PC are hurting deeply, sometimes they begin replying to many, many posts or post multiple posts. It's almost like an indirect cry for help. Sometimes their emotions make them spread themselves too thin. If you are unable to find the time to read replies to your threads, then, IMO, try to only have one thread so you can simply read the replies and hit the "thanks" or "hug" button to acknowledge you saw their response. Again, when we are in crisis, sometimes we post too much spreading our attention too thin. As far as your actual posts go--you are a good writer and have a lot of good advice.

Unfortunately, while this place is a good outlet--it only helps so much, as long as your family situation continues, it is just going to hurt. Though it may seem like your situation is unresolvable, eventually, things WILL change. I am sorry you are hurting so much. Hang in there.
