[quote=Anonymous]OP i TOTALLY get this. In every way. Part of the pain for me is that I never would have chosen this — it is bad luck, and for sure, that absolutely has led to feelings of jealous/envy/emptiness. I don’t want to be a person who had to detach from their family of origin. I want to be someone who has brunch with their mom; someone who sends a fun bday gift to a sibling; someone who brings the homemade cranberry sauce to thanksgiving. I know other families aren’t perfect and I don’t idealize … but it’s that for me, the gap is SO big. I will never come even close to anything I just listed. I have relatives who I’d have to call the police on if they ever came to my house again. Relatives who are blocked on my phone. People who aren’t from families like this have NO idea. [/quote]
