Families

[lostdreams]

Today was the day i felt hopeful, i thought i could tell my sister about the way i am feeling right now but the response i got before i even got to say what was wrong was so dis-heartening. I approached the subject in a round about way so i could test the waters first, but she made me feel so.....................pathetic!!!! At least i know where i stand!! Families eh??? (Sorry, i had to let off a bit off steam).

I so understand the family trust thing.  I thought I could tell my sister really how bad things were, the response the next day was:  "So you quit?"   After I already explained it's not easy, her boyfriend has become one of my suppliers and you would think that she'd get it, but she believes everything he says, including the fact that he doesn't use that much...if she only knew what I knew, but I know I can't say anything more than I already have because she doesn't want us talking anymore because I told on him and she doesn't believe me, it is so sad, she is being so naive,  but yet she doesn't have a heart when he tells her how bad wd's really are. He told me he tried to explain to her, but she is just cold hearted, always has been the more I think about it.  So, I understand, famiies aren't always the best to turn to.

You have to learn who you can trust and develop friendships with people you know who will be a support to you.  Keep the faith.  Family is not always the best choice.  This site is full of people who will understand you better than your family ever could.

I agree with you about families. Some family members our of no help at all, so your not alone. Don't let it get you down.
