Healing

---

Today hasn’t been the greatest day of my life. I’ve felt more alone today then I have in a very long time. I feel like everything is on my shoulders and there’s no one I can lean on for support. I know my husband loves me, I know he cares about me and I know that he hates seeing me like this. But right now I just don’t feel the support.

I woke up this morning and realized that while I have a family with my husband, I don’t have my own family. I live not even five minutes away from my mom, brother and sister-in-law and yet I never get a phone call from my own family, I never see them and even when I send my mom a message on Facebook, I don’t get a response. I feel ignored, unappreciated and unloved. I feel like my own family doesn’t care about me and have no pride in the success that I have achieved in fighting my CRPS, finding an agent, and I have gotten no support from them in my search for the right publisher for my book.

I’m not trying to complain, I don’t want anyone to feel sorry for me. Rather, I want you, my loyal readers to know that I can survive this too. I’ve already survived so much in my life that I can survive this too. And the most important lesson that I’m taking from this is that you choose your own family. You choose who you’re family is and who it is that is most important to you.
