I'm happily married 30years, six great kids, 3 grown bio with advanced degrees then we adopted 3 amazing little ones over the last ten years each with special needs. I ended up the scapegoat for quietly living my life but not realizing how my sibs joined to make our parents angry I was different. I rescued each at times, but.their jealousy with narcissistic members, my reputation slowly attacked to push all my support away. A year ago two sisters filed false accusations that nearly took our little ones, putting us away for something we did not do. Now no one has the courage to be in our life. Our one daughter has been fighting a severe pain condition 3 years but my extended family cares not. To live knowing my parents do not see how this is slowly choking my life, I can't understand it. We tried to create a new family but they left too. It hurts so much hearing my little ones ask why we stayed home this year. We can only pray and move on.

They have discovered conditional love from their family and feel abandoned when they don't want to meet these conditions. My reassurance that you can create your own extended family and find unconditional love from people who didn't see you grow up is met with uncertainty. Fortunately I often hear from these students later on after they have discovered that I actually knew what I was talking about. This post just reassured me that I'm not alone in spreading this message.
