[quote=Anonymous]My parents are divorced and remarried, and so are DH's. All 4 parents live a plane ride away so visiting is a major expense in both time and money. Once we arrive, I still get that displaced feeling like I'm not 'home' because of parents' new spouses, other adult children and their kids. We've created our own happy home for our nuclear family, but I long for a home base for myself and my kids. It's been years, I should be over this by now. Ain't gonna happen, but I miss what could have been, and am envious of what my friends enjoy in their parents' homes. As a result, I find myself not wanting to make the effort to visit our parents and just focus on my own family. Their time is also divided among other step siblings, none of which has ever made an effort at a blended family. Bums me out sometimes.[/quote]
