I miss my family

It's amazing how much I miss my family. I see them every day, but it isn't the same. My son is my son, and will always be, but my family is no longer. Before, it was the three of us, always. I thought that together there was nothing we couldn't do. I no longer have that feeling. It has been replaced with helplessness. I feel myself flailing and it leaves a bad taste in my mouth. I'm just thankful that Melissa and I still get along. I couldn't take it if she tried to turn my son against me.
