" I can relate to your story a bit, after my mother passed away all i wanted was to be close to my siblings since that was all i had left. Well it didnt work out that way not until I took charge for the things I did to make my family and friends not want to be around me. Not sure if you have a CODA group around where you live but if you would like the link let me know. It helped me along with counseling. All we can do is be responsible for our part in it. Good luck I hope this helps a little "
