No kidding that is a story of my life I'm always here trying to fix everyone else's life while they tear mine up

My experience could hardly have been more different. My parents migrated when I was three. So all the extended family was gone, and as it happened I was an only child, in a country my parents refused to adapt to. My growing up there only isolated me more from them. By the time I was eleven we had transplanted twice more, each time leaving me to establish myself in a fresh environment. I pretty soon learned to "Go my own way" at home and school and what I found was that once I chose my path, like Forrest Gump running across America, I looked around and I had a small following. No deep friends. But people looking for a group or a direction. So I cruised along for a while, then found "the one" and that has been my commitment ever since..Now although she has become different, the kids and I are supporting her and I guess it will always be us against the world. We let people in. But the inner circle will always be just us for me..😷

This is a brilliant post and I hope people will read it and apply it.

We aren't meant to be everyone's "rock".
