What everyone else said is pretty much true, and I have plenty of stories myself. Count on no one except yourself. When the good times, money is gone, and sickness comes, most everyone disappears, and someone you may least expect, even a total stranger, may help more than a close relative or so called friend, but they are too few and far in between. I'm staying home for Thanksgiving with my mom, again, but at least I have that, but were not cooking anything, and I have two siblings, somewhat locally, that are helping themselves elsewhere to feast lol, so I guess were not worth the trip or effort to help.
