I lost my mother to cancer nearly 4 years ago. I'm the oldest
child of 4 in my family.The last two years, and more immediately -- last six months --
have been pure hell. I was downsized and unemployed since
February. I landed a job not quite two weeks ago.In the meantime,I had to ask my dad for help to pay my rent,
else I'd be evicted in 10 days.Well, today was my birthday, and my family made a point
to ignore me. No card, no call, nothing. I'm lower than
low. This is a family that "loves" out of duty, rather
than from the heart.Any advice on help to finally cut ties from them? Any
suggestions on how to make the pain less? My three best
friends forgot or blew me off, too.It's just too damned hard doing it all alone.
