I want to feel close to my younger sister. Her husband has untreated OCD so she's got her hands full but thought she'd understand. She has no interest in sharing anything with me. I'm the weird one. That will always be. Nobody cares I'm even alive. Maria.

Maria, you say "Nobody cares" but you also have faith in God. I just want to tell you what I realized a long time ago: It's wonderful if we can share with and be supported by others in this world. But here is the truth: we are ALL alone ultimately. Nobody accompanies you into this world and when you leave you will leave alone. But, God was with you before you got here, he's on this crazy ride with you now, and he will be with you when you leave. In other words, worldly relationships are temporary. Don't get too hung up on who likes/cares about you or doesn't. If you try to keep this in mind maybe you will feel better about your situation. (I know, it's much easier to say what is true than to make yourself believe it on a deep level. But it's good to try nonetheless.) Best, Hank
