ironic, i had four trips to the mental ward, and im the only the one in my family without a severe mental problem. My aunt has anxiety, my uncle has depression and is a recovering alcholic, my other uncle is working between 18 and 20 hours a day and will have something if he doenst take it easy. my
grandmother had depression. my father has all the symptoms of a borderline personality. my mother is semi-delusional, and my brother is well on his way to emulating uncle with his drinking and gambling.

I know; too often it is blamed on one person... I think Dr. Phil calls the blamed person the "squeaky wheel". But that doesn't necessarily mean that you're the least functional wheel; you may even be the most functional but your problem is more noticeable to certain people! I am a squeaky wheel too, maybe even on my way to becoming the black sheep of the familty! I know how you probably feel, are you bitter? Since you posted it in The Haven you must feel bad about it, anyway. PM me if you want; I love talking to people like us and I want to help, or just listen! :)
