So many times

Yes but these are the only people in my life, and my kids' lives, so I have been trying to make it work so we aren't totally alone. Right now I only FEEL alone. I have no support network

I know that there's an over population of the idiot selfish assole kind.. but seriously trying to please them isnt working.. you need to get tougher... sometimes even if you dont want to.. in the long run it's better..
Keep them around for now..but keep an eye out for nicer people who dont have their heads up their own backsides :P

@Adaydreambeliever: thanks, you may be right. In some ways I am tough and in others not at all. I will keep working
