...if all right
Along with dps, I offer my support and understanding.
Jme, but freaking out/experiencing fear whenever we take this major step of self care is actually normal. It's scary when we make that healthy decision to stop keeping secrets...
When I stopped communication between myself and my sisters, it gave me great relief...after I went through the spell of guilt/shame/worry if I had done the right thing.
Yeah, I did the right thing
It was a choice between continuation of their abusive actions or taking care of myself by telling them I would no longer accept it.
Again, jme,but you are making a big change in taking care of yourself...but in all honesty, you cannot continue with the way things are, right?
You have to be your number one priority, you have every right to feel peace in your mind...and it will come to you.
In Peace
