How did you find each other? Do you think it makes parenting better? What keeps you together?

No, I don't really have anyone in my life that I would trust with my child anyway.

My mother refuses to stop trying to push her nutty religion on absolutely everyone so shes out.

Most of my siblings have 0 situational awareness and do dumb shit like lighting a joint right next to a cop or driving drunk to the police station to pick up their spouse who was just arrested for driving drunk so they are out.

The one person I might trust lives 4 hours away and has a habit of not answering the phone so their out too.

There is no village in my life. We are an island and it sucks.
