For me it's my mom, followed closely by my sister. They have my back no matter what!
Who is the person you can count on the most?

I have two wonderful friends I can count on for emotional support or for getting great feedback from. I've been friends w/ both of them for something like 22 years. although I now live about 200 miles from both of them, we stay in regular contact by phone.

I'm not very close with my family, and my husband and I aren't as close as we could be. I have a good friend who's always there if available, but I have no one physically in person.

My mom or partner.

My friends here at Eden Fantasy's

I can always count on my husband. My sister...eh not as much as I used to.

My mom, grandma or my fiance.

Two friends of mine. They are been there through it all with me have stood beside me. They have stepped up and filled the position of not only trusted friend but family. I know that no matter what the issue is they will be there for me, either to lend support or call me out on my own bullshit!

Myself. LOL! Kidding. It's actually my partner. He might forget a lotta shit, but I can definitely count on him more than... more than I could even ask for.

I'm so glad you have a great mom & sister you can count on. My mom is the second I can always count on. Not that she is behind my partner, but I go to him more. I know she has a lot more to deal with in everyday life than I do, so I don't like to drain her. Other people do that to her all the time, so I try to be her person to count on. In a way though, me and her are each other's too. But I do tend to go to my spouse with most things, especially since a lot of my cruddy crud isn't so big, usually.
But if I ever, ever need a thing at all, no matter what it is, my partner, both my parents, my grandmother and my partner's dad are all people who will do anything for me.
Oh, and if it's not something that requires face-to-face kind of attention, then my EF friends (like you, for instance) never let me down. My EF friends have been some of the best I've ever had, even though we've not even met in real life!

I've learned that when the situation is difficult and I really need help, the only person I can really count on is... ME!
During my late spouse's terminal illness I needed assistance to care for her while I was at work. I asked family members who "could" have assisted me and been paid for it, I was told "yes, but not right now". The "yes" was so that later they could say "but I said that I would", the delay was to wait until she had died. I paid several thousand for "adult babysitters" some of whom stole about half of my spouse's pain medications.

PS, Yes, I've done it...I have finally posted with an emoticon as an answer! What's next in my ever eroding standards? I know, "TY". Wait, even worse than that, the dreaded, "nope"

God, I'm so sorry you & she went through that! And stealing pain meds from a patient like that? I am just sickened by the depravity! I'm more appalled at those who didn't step up! What could be more important? Heck, I'd have done it for neighbors I hardly know! If you didn't work, then there would likely be no insurance to pay the bills! "Not right now"!? Well, gee, when would be more convenient for you? Never mind the dying person! You needed a better quality of people around you! Even a church group could have gotten together & offered to take shifts - for free & they'd be less likely, I hope, to steal her medicine! Unfortunately, I have seen that many people can't be relied upon for the serious stuff, that's when you really see someone's true colors!

I have a small circle of friends that I know have my back through anything. And of course I trust my woman with my life.
