[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I knew early and never kidded myself. [/quote] I feel like that takes strength that some others don't have. Like having a very strong dad or grandfather, grandmother. Some other interested family member. I had an effed up mom, absent dad, and family members who could have been available but my mom made sure they were not. No grandparents. My idea of family is having a functional mom. So now I am that, without much support.[/quote] pp here- I think you're right. I had one set of amazing grandparents who stepped in a filled the void. I eventually asked them to engage a lawyer so that I could live with them as a teenager. I just knew that parents were messed up and I never normalized it. I don't know if it was having my grandparents around or if I just have that kind of personality. My teen DS doesn't have a single ingratiating, enabling bone in his body, and I think he might have some of my qualities. [/quote]
