Sorry you don't appreciate this "attitude", but don't presume that I am leaving info. out. I can't give you what I don't have. There is no "woe is me", just frustration and hurt, like everyone else. It is hard to find others on this board in similar situations, but I do take advantadge of what everyone has to say. I do take offense to your supposition that, since my family relaitonships do not mirror yours, they are "odd".
Also, it is insulting to be told to "find the reason he helft you for"....this isna;t all about me, remeber? This is his journey, NOT mine.....
