catcatanzaro60 hey Jim thanks for the response. I haven't had those feelings until lately since my own flesh and blood children did not call to check on me. After years of counseling -I understand the narc, brainwashing them. But man it runs so deep -my kids meant everything to me. It's like waking up and the kids are gone from a bad wreck or something. I don't wish this on anybody. Thanks for your support. God is always by my side. God Bless Everyone in this trying time.

@catcatanzaro60 I read about family difficulties often in various discussions. I know how blessed I am to have a close-knit, loving family. My parents weren't perfect, but all 6 of us knew that we were loved. My wife was raised in a really healthy home, as well, so we had that history guiding us in raising our son and daughter. They call most days. It's not as good as being together in person, but it keeps us connected.
It's hard to understand why family members abandon each other. The problem isn't a new one, of course. Cain and Abel came to blows, didn't they. I think it's in Song of Solomon, "there's nothing new under the sun". When we experience pain in our relationships, it always seems to have an impact on our mental health. You and I have both worked through some tough stuff, but we've survived. And we can survive what's going on all around us.
Enjoy God's blessing and presence.
Jim
