The difficulty of dealing with the isolation that many of us have encountered because of addiction and associated issues is one of the reasons I come here.
My daughter's father feels that HE is the 'victim' because she stole from him. He has not spoken to her or even asked about her since. His current wife supports this.
Last year, I traveled 1200 miles to see family. My three siblings and I and some additional family members met for brunch on Sunday morning. We talked about where my sister's daughter was applying for college. The grandkids were talked about. Not only did no-one ask about my DA, but no-one asked about my other daughter either. I might as well not even have been there. I was left out of the conversation completely. Addiction and criminal activity does not happen in my family.
My younger daughter does not ask about her older sister. She has no sympathy for either her or me. She does not want her here and does not understand why I care.
I am totally alone in this.
