Is your family supportive?

My Daughter, my Son and his Partner are all very supportive and protective over me and my lovely Man is also I never knew what it was like to be loved,cared for, respected and supported by the one you love till I realized that I loved my Man 3 years ago, we had been friends for 6 years and he has helped me to believe in myself and that I am not useless or a Failure because of my Illness So yes I have 4 People that care and protect me and I have a lot of Friends on here that support me to and you are one of them

I'm actually really close to my family. Especially my parents. They both have supported me in what I wanted to do, even if they don't necessarily agree with my decisions. If my mom had her way I'd be going to school in some sort of medical profession (even though I couldn't stomach it). My brothers and sisters are all pretty close. There is a 20 year age difference between me and my oldest brother, so we're not as close, but we'd still do about anything for each other if it came down to it. I never fought with my parents. I never told them I hated them, and they've never been anything but loving. I know a lot of people my age who are constantly fighting with their parents, or can't stand their parents. I could never imagine telling my parents I hate them. There are too many people who aren't as lucky to have a loving and supportive family. I realize just how blessed I am to have the relationship with my family that I have.

I couldn't ask for a more supportive family, although my family is small just me, mum and dad, they are always supporting me and will back me up with whatever I decide to do. Even the present situation I am in, they want the best for me and have even offered to invite me to return home until I get myself settled. Being the only child as well they dote a lot of love on me and I have never disappointed them, I hope!

I was also facing lots of non support of my co family members. At present my two childres' earning we are pulling the family. Without money nobody is supporting atleast mental help and casual helps. Due my child at present my family is supportive.

I do not have a large family, and there are time I truly do feel alone, and then I get a reminder on how great they are. for example I had one eye operated on, and it was a great success, and some one donated the lens that was used.my medical pan covers a standard lens that requires a larger incision and you also get 2-3 stitches. all in all not a big huge deal. And this is what I had come to accept. last night my brother phoned and asked how much the next lens would be, so I explained that it was $300 and I was going to have a standard lens put in, he said no way I will pay for the soft lens and that was that. I can not tell you of the times when I feel so alone and find out I am most defiantly am not. And it is usually my family or my doctor that shows me different. You gotta love them.

Unfortunately for me my family try to be supportive but it is always in a really negative way. My family are very strange and like it if you listen to them and do exactly what they say but as soon as you dont, because their advice often isnt good, they arent happy and make life even harder for you! I had a break down a few years ago and sadly my family made the matter alot worse than it should have been, I am sure I would have got better alot quicker if it wasnt for them

My family "thinks" they're supportive and they try to be supportive, but I've found that when things come up, things that they think will affect them, or that worry them, they tend to nag. This is the reason why I don't tell people much of anything until it's already been accomplished.

I have the most amazing family! i don't just mean my children i mean my whole family. we support each other and are there for each other all the time. my brother and sister are the most amazing people i know. i think we are so close because growing up my grandfather use to say, you don't need any friends there are already to many of ya'll. LOL so we always just stuck together and leaned on each other and supported one another. I am very proud and very honored that i am blessed with wonderful aunts, uncles, cousins, first,second, and third genration.

Yes, they are very suportive as when things go bad and when there is a illness in the family.

I am glad that you do have family around you to support you Tina. I am also happy to say that our family have always been close and are there through the hard times too (talking about immediate family in this case). Even extended family at times are very caring and supportive too. It is nice to know they are there through the good and the bad :)

Hey. Im fortunate to have a very supportive husband and children, and also family, my sister, brothers and our parents, whom take the time to listen, laugh, cry and play practical jokes on each other lol... Supportive in the way of being Loving and caring, non judge mental, open minded and out spoken, Security and Financial, which Ive never needed to ask for anything... My family are really close, I wouldnt have it any other way... With this, I know my children and husband will be well looked if anything...

I am so glad to have my loving family. They are very much supportive. They are always there to support me whatever i fields i choose. They always tells me that they are just at my back whenever i need them.

Welcome back, Tina. I have a very supportive family network, and I know you have too because you often tell us so. When we face tough times and our spirits sink to a low depth, we realise the value of this support network in our lives. We have to be truly thankful for the care and concern of loved ones, for this is not a given thing. Many people around the world are not blessed with wonderful families, like us.

obviously they are supportive....they always take care of him.......always ask me abt my studies n my needs.........i love to njoy time with my family members.......whenever i have some requirement i dont have to say anything to they just....understand and complete it.....m a engg student and most of the time m out from my home......soo every day tehy call to me and ask for my health and other things......i really miss them during college life........i keep on going home to meet them.......whenever i get time....i hope they all will be hale and hearty.......when i am responding to ur topic......thanx to u that u start such a heart touching topic...........thanx again

We are Chinese, and family is very important for us. My family is very supportive. Even now, I have my little boy, they care about him very much. My husband and I have to go to work everyday. And my mom will take care of our child when we are away. In fact she has been done so since he was born. I really appreciate to her and I'm very lucky. So I have to work hard and try to give better living for my family. The happy moment is all of us get together and have a good time. That's my wish.

My family is very close. We may not see each other every day but when anything goes on with one or the other you can count on all to come flocking to help or celebrate ....whatever the situation. And my children....Oh where would I be without them. Whenever one of us is upset or sad about something we ask, "do you need a hug". Sometimes a big hug is worth more than any talking. We have all had our ups and downs with each other but it is always shortlived...I can't imagine being on the outs with any of my family for any length of time. that is just too sad.
