  Wouldn't that be two things then..? Sorry couldn't resist. I imagine such a scenario might involve having family still in..

  You've never met my parents. We have a strange dinamic. They were missionary wanna be's who pretended I wasn't there. Today they are very elderly and live with my family and me. I care for all their needs, including making sure they get to meetings and FS. Dad is still an elder.

  I can never be completly myself when they are around. I monitor my every word and action. They stole my childhood and continue to steal my soul.

  I know I sound bitter and resentful. Many of you will be shocked and think poorly of me. But again I say: you don't know my parents.

  It sounds like you are being the dutiful daughter although you have every reason to not to be. I understand.

  Thanks guys. I didn't mean to hijack this thread and make it "all about me".
