I have my mom, my brother and my aunt, who has no children and a rare and debilitating disease. Didn't grow up spending time with cousins, none of my parents' siblings have kids, my dad is an insufferable passive aggressive lifelong victim. DH has lots of close aunts and uncles and cousins and we see them several times a year. [ Reply | More

Yes, me. I live alone and have no contact with family. I am a child abuse and incest survivor who only feels safe when alone. It is lonely, but preferable to constant panic. Quarantine made it mandatory but I had no problem with it. Isolation makes you crazy but there's always tradeoffs. [ Reply | More
