[quote=Anonymous]"It also hurts to be brave enough to open up about your family and realize that many people's lives are too charmed for them to understand." PP, thank you so much for writing this. I had this experience in the past year with two people, both of whom I thought were close friends. They're great people, but their lives are such that they fundamentally cannot understand my family's level of dysfunction. When I realized that, I was crushed. It still feels so achingly lonely when I think about it. I do have friends who get that aspect of my life and for them, I am profoundly grateful. Even though their families as a whole can't provide the closeness I would love for my family (DH and kids), that they understand, profoundly, what it's like keeps me going. It's especially hard in some ways because my family is local; people assume they're helpful when they hear that. [/quote]
