[QUOTE="Waitingforamiracle, post: 760618, member: 25449"] My dad left us for his new wife when I was very small (about 2) and my two elder siblings both argued a lot with my Mom, who as I mentioned before was struggling to hold it together with a poor mental state and hardly any support. They each at different times ran away to live with my Dad, telling him terrible stories of neglect and abuse no doubt. So eventually there were two families, me, my mom and my sister; Dad, his new wife, their 2 kids and the 2 stepkids. This became permanent. I feel for you, as I know it broke my mom's heart over and over. Please be good to yourself and I recommend a mindfulness / Buddhist counselor as the precepts of Buddhist thinking are very similar to the advice I read here again and again - you can only control yourself, all bad times will pass, as will the good times, we must must must be accepting of what comes to pass. Not to supplant any faith you may have - I'm convinced Jesus was a Buddhist! ( Hope I've not offended anyone ) [/QUOTE]
