...oh, and when I say that I "have family", I mean that I talk on the phone with either of my parents *maybe* once a month at most, and I talk to other relatives (like my aunts and cousins) every few months on the phone, if at all, or only through Facebook.
Oh yes, and my in-laws. They can be quite delightful sometimes (sarcasm intended).
So, I do feel very isolated a lot of the time, but I figure that this is a time for me to heal, so it's okay.
