[quote=Anonymous]I don't have contact with my parents. I haven't talked with my mother since I was 15 and she sided with her husband instead of me about him molesting me. I haven't talked to my father, who lives about six driving hours or an hour and a half plane ride away, in about a year - since he got angry at me for getting a restraining order against his ex wife (because then she started bothering him).

I don't know why you think you need your parents for support. There's the family you're born into, the family you create, and the family you pull around you (your village). My best friend just dropped off mozzarella cheese for me last night because I forgot to buy it over the weekend. Our contract with our nanny includes doing 5 or 6 errands for the household per week. My friend's dad became widowed right after our first baby was born and he's backup care. My inlaws live across the country and we see them 4 or 5 times a year. My work-from-home neighbor will watch the kids with her husband at night after they're asleep, or during the day if she's our last resort and it's not for more than an hour or so. We gather the village around us. [/quote]
