I personally think that "good families" should come with warning stickers on their mini-vans that say "caution, non-dysfunctional family inside". At least we would be warned. They are tough to see. I like to think that underneath all that family goodness there lurks unspeakable badness. It may be a total creation on my part, but it makes me feel better.
I'm sorry you feel lonely. Sigh. I do understand, in fact I think a lot of people on this board will.
I celebrated all the big life events thus far on my own.
One of my mentors told me several months ago that he was proud of me and it carried me for weeks and weeks.
I've learned though, that the sense of family is where you find it. Whether it be at work, or with your boyfriend's family or where ever.
It's not the same as parental approval and love, but it's pretty close.
Let me be the first here to congratulate you on your great new job, your cool new car and your fab new place. I'm very proud of you and what you have accomplished. Very very proud of you indeed.
Take good care.
Seldom.
