UPDATE An odd thing has happened during the past week.  I have had two e-mails and one postcard from my brother (showing a picture of one of his grandchildren), plus three e-mails and two phone calls from my sister.  I cannot quite figure out what is happening.  Are they trying to kill me with kindness?   I am seeing my therapist at the mental health clinic tomorrow.  I am hoping he will be able to determine whether they are trying to drive me crazy or something else!

Zoinks... Will be interested to read if you share what your therapist thinks.

Too many possibilities pop into my head.

Maybe your family has turned over a new leaf in regards to you. Stranger things have happened you know. Many hugs to you-Stephanie

My thoughts are that they are feeling some guilt. I dunno though. How do you feel when you get the messages or communications? Does it upset you? Do you like it? I imagine you don\'t trust it. As you shouldn\'t.

Having said that, I hope they are coming to their senses and realizing how AWESOME you are and simply want to get to know you better.

When I receive communications from my brother and sister, I feel cautiously optimistic. Although I have a hard time trusting them, there is an inner part of me that wants to do so. I find it very difficult to process everything I have been going through recently, and I find this to be very troubling.

I am not sure that I am all that \"AWESOME,\" but thank you for saying so.

Weebs, have I ever failed not to share what my therapist thinks?

Stephanie, I really hope you are right about my family turning over a new leaf in regards to me. I will try to keep an open mind about that.
