My god, talk about a punch in the gut.  This is so much worse coming from family because it's so easy for a complete stranger to be nasty and then go away and never think about it again.  But to do that to your own family, it's ... different.

But I know what you mean, about the other sort of family.

FurryJester, relationships have become even more important to me because of the activism and the... negatism that has happened to me. Once I got active, I lost "friends" most I had had for years. Sometimes that happens when we start to walk our own path. But although it causes some to walk away from our lives, it also leads us to others. :)

Before all this happened we were at a reunion it was huge. And they nitpicked at us. Trolling for fiights, you know. We stayed calm and didn't engage. FYI my husband as served in the military - none of them have and come to find out - most aren't even registered to vote ha! Anyways... coming home my daughter who was then... 9 said that her Great Grandma (the same who told me the above) told her they were happy to finally get to see her, her brotheror and me - since "your mommy is not going to be with us in Heaven" something to that effect. OMG!

What do you say to something like that? I focused on calmind Danni down and talking with her about how our real family are our friends.

It's been a very hard couple of years since the "Uniter" stole office again. But we're stronger for it, right? :)

Yes, it's hard enough to know your family can't be relied on, but the friends I lean on most - sometimes I wonder about them, too, if they'd really be behind me, or just blame me, if something were to happen. And it holds me back, a lot, because without people I know will stand behind me I'm afraid.
