The only person in my bio family that I really stay in touch with is my aunt because the rest of them are pretty much abusers. She gave me an Amazon gift card the other day for 100.00.   

I can't really express how much this meant to me. I have been out of the real workforce for almost 7 years now. The first 5 years I was going to college earning my degree but these last two years is because I am finally getting BPD treatment and also because I have chronic migraines and this winter I started having pains in my arms and legs all the time and the doctors think I might have fibromyalgia but we aren't sure yet.     

Throughout this time I have been living off and on with this elderly couple whose eldest son that I used to date but now they consider me their daughter. My real parents where drug and alcohol abusers and so I never had a real family before I found them so they have been a wonderful support system to me.    

They have also taken two teenagers in this past year and a half which I have come to love like little sister. I didn't think I was going to be able to get good presents (if any) for them this year but with the gift card and some Amazon snag sites I was able to afford to buy everyone presents this year. The most expensive gift was for the girl who is the hardest to shop for and a Seahawks fan.      

Anyway there sometimes are plenty of sad posts here so I wanted to share my happy one :)
