i live almost 2 hours away from my brother and sisters. everytime i see them, they have changed so much! (they are teenagers) i suppose that part of this is just christmas angst. but they are staying at my aunt's house until tuesday and she is only half an hour away. they are going to a childrens museum tomorrow and i really want to go with them and take pictures. pictures are so important to me right now. but i wasn't invited to go and i am supposed to meet a new therapist tommorrow. sigh...
part of all this is that i really was never part of a stable family. my brother and sisters have a relatively stable family now. i think that this is why i am so wanting to have a baby. i can't right now b/c i don't have my degree yet and i am on so many meds, etc. i am so ready to have a family of my own or to at least be more involved in the family i am supposed to be a part of. (i was kicked out of the house at 17 and things are strained).
so, should i ask to go w/ them to the museum and cancel my therapy appointment? i can't decide...

Smokey,
I think the T can wait. Life is too short not to see family when we want to . You are lucky. My brother lives in Texas and I'm in Virginia. My mother lives in California. I am lonely for my family all the time.

I agree - reschedule the T appointment if you can. I live way too far from my folks, too, so if you have a chance to see them, go for it!

i was up too late Sunday night to get up early enough to call and ask if i could go with them. i have a terrible time getting to sleep lately. so i went and met my new therapist that afternoon. i really think that it is going to work out well with her and i am glad i went. she wants to try DBT. i am not crazy about all the worksheets/homework and stuff, but it is all right. she actually called me today to check on me! that is a first. never had a therapist do that before.
i still miss my family but i will get to see them New Year's Eve day, so i don't have too long to wait. and i did get plenty of pictures of everybody opening gifts at my aunt's house. i had a good time, even though i was a little out of it b/c of the Klonopin i had taken.
thanks everybody for your support!
SM
