((((((circles5))))))

Oh yes, sending you big ((((((HUGS)))))))).

Sadly, yes, I can relate and even though I do my best to distance I still have damage from that atmosphere growing up.

The good part is that you had to courage to ask for support and hugs. Personally I have a real hard time with that, because it was so engrained in me not to. So I am glad you are seeing that you are worthy of hugs and help, because you are.

I am glad that there is a therapy that helps you. However I agree with Sannah, you need to make sure that you discuss this in therapy.

All I CAN say is that it is very important that you DO understand that you cannot fix these toxic people, even though you want to love them somehow and that is what many of us DO learn.

You are welcome to come and get as many hugs as you need as well as support.
