I hear you, Spunky, I really do. My “family of origin” was pretty messed up as well. There wasn’t much I could fix with them, but I did what I could and have one brother with whom I can share emails and keep up with his family.
It’s because of this that I put my emphasis on the family I have....I am very grateful to God for my daughter, SIL, son, DIL (soon) and my 4 grandkids. I would do anything for any of them.
You sound like the same kind of person when it comes to your family, Spunky.
“I would do anything for any of them. You sound like the same kind of person when it comes to your family, Spunky.”
Yes I would do anything for them, but even they give me a hard time at times. They don’t always appreciate what I do for them.
