Hi. I have to ask, I hope it's ok for me to be
here. I am not technically an orphan, in that my
parents are still living, but I have felt like one all of
my life. BC even though my dad and step-mom were
right there, they never SAW me. And they still don't. I
have been on my own emotionally with no parent to help
me through life. Does that count? I know some people
get indignant about people who aren't exactly what it
says. Let me know. I will withdraw from here if I am
not welcome. :) I don't wish to offend anyone. But I
have so felt this way for so long... and it will be
nice to be able to talk about it with other people who
know how it feels. I will wait for a reply before I
say any more.<br><br>Sincerely, pilgrim
