Re: Hi, I'm new here Palomino: Thank you for your kind words, Feel. My family didn't help me through it because I had separated myself from them. They are very dysfunctional and abusive, and I felt I would be better off without them, since they were the ones who caused most of my problems. Well, it was mainly my step-mom who was abusive, and the others (dad included) enabled her to be mean and abusive by looking the other way. I was not in contact with my mom at that point either, but last year after the whole thing was over, I did get in touch with her again, and now we're very close. :) I also have many friends now, who care about me a lot. So things are much better now.
Yes, whenever I go out there to visit, my child always begs me to come home with them to live, and cries when I leave. It's very hard explaining that I can't stay with them, because a 4 yr old just can't understand why. It makes me cry too. But I'm planning to move out to their town to be closer after I'm done with school. Hopefully things work out as planned. Thanks again for your support.
