Donna,

Just remember the saying "you can pick your friends, but you can't pick your relatives" and I'm sure we all have some relatives we would like to disown. I'm sorry to hear you have more than your fair share. Through my whole ordeal I have gotten more support from my friends and co-workers than a lot of my family members. Hang in there and lean on your OCF friends -- we all care deeply about you.
