@lolonurse That family connection means a great deal to me. Just last evening, she texted to ask how I'm doing after the recent loss of my friend — who gave my niece her first job, so this is a loss for her, too. She asked me to call her in the next day or so so that we can catch up. I depend on her very much for news of her father's, my brother's, medical condition, since she tells me the truth.

At least that's a comfort to you. I have a sister who is a narcissist & sociopath, life-long kleptomaniac (probably no longer the pc term). It's a terrible story, but we don't communicate anymore, & our younger sister cut her off about 8 years ago. The youngest is fine with that, but I'm not, bc we shared the same room for 16 years, & I'm more emotional/sentimental than the other one. Like you, it's impossible not to care. -

@lolonurse I'm so sorry to hear you have to deal with that family situation. As you say, it's impossible not to care, and that's a kind of hook, isn't it? We can't change what's wrong in our family members' lives (and in their minds and hearts), and at the same time, we can't stop caring. So we're stuck having to watch situations play out in very undesirable ways, while being unable to change the dynamics.
