split second decision about the direction of my life. I was suppose to pack up and go to my families home, a safe haven if you will. However, about a week before I was to leave, my family called me and said that they didn't think it was a good idea for me to come there. It hurt me deeply, at a time when my life was at a huge turning point, I was desperate and pregnant (7 months). My parents who are retired, and my brother(39) and my sister (41) live with my parents and pretty much dictate the household(My parents are not in the best of health). They have never lived on their own, I have lived on my own since I was 19. I was very much hurt by the lack of support and "family" that was not present. My parents are desperate to have me "forgive" them for turning me away, however, have offered no help. I have no animosity, just that I don't feel like I am part of that family, how do I make them understand that I got the "no family support" and can we just get past this problem?
