[quote=Anonymous]I lost my dad when I was 18. It was unexpected. I had four siblings and my mom had to choose who to take care of. Though I was already mostly on my own, that was the end of any parental assistance. On top of that, my mom, whom I lost 20!years later, was very traditional in terms of her view of women’s place in this world so she wasn’t emotionally supportive or otherwise proud of my accomplishments- which included getting myself through college, grad school and law school. Every year when the anniversary of my dad’s death comes around, I literally can’t function and it’s been 45 years. I don’t feel tue same about my mom. Neither parent met my kids and I never had any family help with kids and there is very little relationship between my family and my kids. But even worse than losing a parent is losing a sibling.
