Not doing well. Spent most of the day in bed. I kept coming back to bed. Had dream about siblings. Real life my siblings abandoned me and now I am without family. I am completely without family. Anyone else been through it?

The family and relatives of my early life are all gone. But that is not the same experience as yours.
I am aware of and have loose contact with people whose families have rejected them on the basis of their refusal or failure to share beliefs. It can be extremely painful for them. It also can be liberating. Often it's both.

Thank you Rohag.
I think I've been in denial these 3 years. I somehow thought they would come back. Since my dream the other night, I realize that they won't be coming back and they don't care about me at all. I realize that I'm in grieving process. I guess, it's best to view it that way. I don't have a new family of my own. So at 45, I can't imagine having a family of my own. I'm going to have to accept that I'm going to be alone especially with this depression I have going on. Maybe things would change. |

I've been through it, and with one sibling twice.
It isn't / wasn't easy, but I survived it. A good therapist and support group or network can be helpful. I believe the hole will always be there. But ... As time has gone by, it has become easier to deal with than at first. I'm sorry you're hurting like this ...

Nobody ever wanted to understand me, nor talk about my illness. It was easier for them to drift apart from me than to stand by me to ensure I got better. So, yes, in a sense, I was very much abandoned.

Eggplantlife I am sorry you have been through this. Its a painful, lonely thing to deal with. My mom died Sept 2009. My dad passed away Feb. 2010. Right before my father died my one and only sibling, my brother started to behave in a mean, controlling, and bossy way with me. He and I have not been close since. I last saw him two years ago and we live in the same city. So, in a way I feel like I lost a family.

waterknob, I'm sorry for your loss. Maybe your brother is going through the anger stage of grieving. I hope that you do get back together.
