When family aren't there for you

Hello everyone,

This conversation has been created by moving some posts originally posted here: Your reason for living In ONE SENTENCE PLEASE.

Our community guidelines ask that users try to make replies useful and relevant. Obviously, many conversations do change direction organically, and this is normally fine, so long as participants are still finding it helpful.

In this case, there were clearly two parallel discussions taking place, so I have separated them out to help make things clearer and ensure everyone can participate in the conversations that are most relevant to them.
