Sarahsmom, thanks for your well wishes! I have only 1 brother that I’m close to, and 2 sisters that I talk to maybe once a year. The rest of the family I am not close to at all, and some of them ended up really messed up from the abuse and severed all contact with everyone else. But, that’s ok; I really don’t think about them anymore. Both parents are deceased, and this will sound really awful, but it’s a relief, actually.

You are very fortunate! I am always amazed when I see large, happy families. This proves that my family’s problems were not a direct result of having lots of kids or of being poor, since one can find plenty of large families, even poor ones, who somehow manage to be happy.
