Everybody says your supposed to be able to depend on your family. Well in my case the only family I can depend on are my in-laws. My family has not been there for me. When I got together with who is now my husband. His family has treated and shown me what a real family is supposed to be like. With my family there never was I love you, no hugs, no kisses, never being there when you needed them. With my husbands family they are just one phone call away and, they are there when I need them. My oldest daughter is not my husbands but, that doesn't matter to them she is part of their family. I don't see how some families can turn their back on their children or anyone in their family for that matter. When I think back on my child hood I know that is not what I want my kids to have. I guess my bigest question is how?

It looks like you had to find your real family. Unfortunately, being a parent doesn't come with an instruction manual. I think being a good parent means using the life experiences we've obtained. All our mistakes, triumphs, failures and those of others, must be assessed. All of them are very important. Knowing and learning from them will give us reference in a very confusing world. Some people just are not fit-for or up-to that kind of challenge.

....your experience was better than my brother's -in-law wife.She never felt the love from a parent.They are only two children in the family and she is the eldest. At the moment they are not in good terms.they even get to the point of meeting in court because of division of land (her parents and my Brother's -in -law wife). I cant imagine how that be. Mother and Daugther in court?
My husband is an Adventist Pastor and he wants them to reconcile, but my brother -in-law and her wife dissaproved.
She's actually a lonely woman no parents and sister to share with. We are actually praying for them that they might forgive each other, forget all things and reunite again as a happy family.......forget about what your mother did ,what your sister did, what matters most is you are doing the right thing now. they should throw away the pride.....she has her own family now ,with five children to attend to. How can she arranged her own family if the family she came is not?
When I was reading your experience, I just remember my Brothe's-in-law wife. I'll be praying for both of you....
